There was a time when it wasn’t much of a task to keep
tab on Roland Logan. He was always bobbing up and un-
Joading his latest adventures. Logan, you may recall, came
to George Washington University un-
der Jim Pixlee as assistant football

Logan became the All-American
trainer. He spent a stretch with the
Boston Red Sox and put in long hours
trying to knead the limp arm of the

Before war came, Logan dropped all of his civilian pur-
suits, sent his wife and two youngsters back home to Kansas,

Hamilton and has been doing a good job ever since.

play-by-play of Roland Logan. He became a full lieutenant and then
shipped off somewhere, That “somewhere” turns out to be an ad-
vanced base in the Pacific. He has been moved up a considerable |
notch and has taken over the job formerly held by “Sleepy Jim”)
