For Another Fullback
Finding anothe'r fullback to team with captain Ralph
Brower is the number one problem of soccer coach Ken
Hosterman at the present time. •
"If we can find another fullback," Hosterman said, "we'd'

difficulty is shapina the 40-plus

Some of the boys ar'e in pretty
good shape while others are not.
But they're coming along."
