GRILL North Gate Walemon Price has been offered the head coaching job at his old home town of Newcastle, but hasn’t decided whether to take it or not. He has asked for a little time to think the offer over. Bill Conatser visited on the Bay lor campus the other day. He is quoted, by the Bayor newspaper as saying, “We lost some linemen who will be hard to replace, but we should have another fair coun try ball club. We aren’t predict ing another title, but we will be gunning for it.” Reports from Austin say that Jack Crain is getting larger. If he keeps on he will be large enough to feel when you get him in your hands. Wonder if he is another Ernie Lain in the making?

The spring training bunch is split up into four teams, baring the names of pro elevens. The first team is called the Green Bay Packers, the second the New York Giants, the third the Washington Redskins, and the fourth the Chicago Bears.
