Wal ler, at fullback, and Mason at left half, will round out the new quar tet. ' Coach Hauk is ot the belief this foursome will not -only provide more offensive punch but will also be better suited to cope with the touted Mllwaukle passing at tack, which features Boe on the flipping end.

The Tony Ka-hut-Indian Chuck Rosey battle looms as a natural, and is appar ently the one In which Salem fans are the most interested. Kahut, Woodburn boy, haa been coming along fast in recent bouts, but whether he can stop the marvel ouly conditioned Rosey is some what of a question among local fight followers.

Thirty-nine stalwarts of Troy were selected for the trip, and at least two were hopeful that his tory would repeat itself In this bitterly-waged Intersections! war fare. They were Grenvllle LansdeH, No. 1 man of Troy's imposing ar ray ot quarterbacks, and Harry Smith, 220-pound running guard. Southern California's leading can didates for all-America honors. : Smith Star Rose Two years ago when USC in vaded the Notre Dame backyard big Qarry Smith suddenly barged out of the substitute ranks and turned in a game that started him on the road to national recogni tion as the most feared of Troy's linemen. And it was the same game that Lansdell, the lad they call "Fog Orer Pasadena," executed the feat a Trojan quarterback hadn't done since the days ot Morley Drury a decade before. He played a full 0 minutes against the hard hitting Irish, and played it well. even in defeat. The spotlight will be on these two Saturday, but it may shift to others. Backing up Lansdell, for instance, will be Doyle Nave, the pass-throwing hero of Troy's vic tory over Duke in the Rose Bowl, and behind him comes A m b y Schlndler, ltO pounds ot activity. . "Amby" May Fullback Schlndler, however, may see duty in the fullback spot as re serve for Bob Peoples, USC's other fullback replacements, Jack Ban ta and Bill Sangster, being on the doubtful playing list. Last year USC wrecked a per fect season for the Irish. Notre Dame can return the favor this year, with interest, because Troy happens to be the best bet to win the right to represent the Pacific coast conference in the Rose Bowl. It's things like this, year In and year out, that makes the USC-No-tre Dame series the annual sell out it Is. Vanderbilt Named Association Head NEW YORK, Nov. 20-(A)-Al-fred G.
