The line, reinforced with Jay-hawker tackles Oliver Spencer and George Mrkonic, should be tough. Other standouts are Bill Forester, SMU tackle, Bob Blair, TCU end, and Don Rhoden, Rice linebacker.
Team members will tour San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Hollywood and will be guests at the Rose Bowl game. Gate receipts will be used for the benefit of crippled children in San Francisco.

North-South Game to Climax Grid Career For KU's All-Big Seven Bob Brandeberry
Bob Brandeberry's transition from eighth string fullback to all- Big Seven halfback has been climaxed by his appointment to the north squad for the annual North-South game at Miami, Fla., Christmas night.
Brandeberry received notice of his selection the day after the Missouri game. He was visiting Jerry Taylor, first string left end at his home in Carrolltown, Mo., when he was called by Stu Holcomb, head coach of Purdue and the northern team. Brandeberry said that the honor was a "surprise to me, I haven't figured out why I was selected."
He will fly to Miami Dec. 17 to participate in practice sessions before the contest. The team will remain until Dec. 27 and will receive $5 a day expenses. Brandeberry said that he has not been told the details of the trip but that the players will proba
trip but that the BRANDEBERRY players will probably be entertained
by sight-seeing in Mimai.
Brandeberry came to the University in the fall of 1948 and made the freshman football squad—just barely. He was fullback for the eight string backfield.
Since the 1949 varsity was loaded with fine halfbacks, Brandeberry was held out of the season. He was shifted to right half in 1950 and played his first game against Oklahoma A&M. He started his varsity career by scoring two touchdowns in three minutes in the Jayhawker's romp over the Aggies, 40-7.
He developed into a great half-back in the 1951 season and was picked on the all-conference squad upon completion of the campaign. Brandeberry said that the "realization that the load was on my shoulders" marked the turning point in his KU football career.
New York - (U.P.) - Native Dancer, Alfred G. Vanderbilt's unbeaten colt, gained another important honor today when he was named "American Champion of 1952" by the Thoroughbred Racing association.
He has carried the load more than adequately.
Native Dancer Wins EquineAll-American
It marked the first time in history a two-year-old was awarded the title of champion of champions.
Native Dancer received 19 votes of the 37 cast by racing secretaries of the TRA tracks. Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords' One Count was named on 14 ballots, while Calumet Farm's Real Delight attracted the remaining four votes.
The turf's newest champion won all of his nine starts this year and set an all-time money winning record for a two-year-old by earning 5230,495. He climaxed his brilliant campaign with a smashing victory in the Belmont futurity.
