a Four weeks of spring football practice wore held in unusually good spring reather, only one day being lost because of rain. About 55 men reported regularly, mut some of these men have already been: inducted into the Army cr Navy since the ciose of practice. Several letter men from last fall's squad reported, including Jordon Reynolds, end, Charles Moffett, all-Big Six halfback, Dud Day and Don Stock- Gale, guards, Tex Langford, center, Dorwin Lamkin, tackle. Several squad members who did not letter last year were also out. Among the most promising of these boys wera Milford Collins, fullback, Clifford Hargis, end,»Tom Bailoy; tackle, and James Sanders, halfback. LeRoy Robison, fullback, is an outstanding performer on Coach Rey Kanehl's track team and will be available for heavy duty next fall. Te wind up spring practice, a game with the alumni was held under the lights at Haskell Stadium. Charles Moffett, who has been in the hospital with pneumonia for threo woeks, was unable to play with the varsity, loaving us with no letterman in the backfield, and only one back, Milford Collins, who had any exper- ience. The alwai boasted such former luminarics as George Dick, Hub Ulrich (who was home on leave from his PT boat in the South Padific), "Chief" Long, Charles Keller, Garland Cantrell, Dan Chase, Bob Miller, Bill Mowory, and several others, In a hard-fought game the alwnni beat the varsity 7 to O on a pass-completed in the last quarter of .the game from Bob Miller tn George Dick. The varsity got somo good imocrience, the coaches got a line on their athletes, and the alumni had a lot of: Nad “un as well as getting a lot of charleyhorses and sore muscles. The. Navy has just announced that a new group of perhaps 100 men will come into the V-12 unit July 1. Undoubtedly there will be some football talent in that croup. We are going to hold a summer practice after the first of July, and regular practice will start September 1. Codch Henry Shenk's boys are enthusiastic, and with some breaks should give a good account of themselves next fall. : "The 1945-46 football schedule is as follows: — Sept. 22 1.C.U. at Kansas City, Moe Sept. 28 Denver University at.
