COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL FINANCE Main and Riverside Medford Hill Has Swift, Rugged Halfbacks At Southern Cal Lns Angeles It isn't often that a coach loses only a couple of second string halfbacks from the preceding season and also welcomes back a consensus Ail American, but that's the bright picture that faces Jess Hill as he readies his SC team for the start of the 1956 campaign. Led by all-time SC great, Jon Arnett, Coach Hill will have a swift and rugged band of Trojan halfbacks at his disposal this year. Arnett is one of those "guilty" seniors limited to five games of play but there are an eager bunch of understudies ready to step in. Arnett. the nation's No. 2 scorer last year with 15 TDs and 18 conversions, will end a bril liant Trojan grid career this sea son. The team's top rusher in '54 with 478 yards and again last year with 672, Jon currently ranks 12th on the list of all-time Trojan varsity career rushing leaders. Zampfii No. 2 Behind Arnett. Hill will be able to call on Ernie Zampese, Doug Kranz, and Rex Johnston. Zampese was Arnett's top re placement last year while the highly under-rated Kranz has been moved over from the right half position. Johnston is up from the frosh. Manning the right half slot is another 1955 standout, Junior I Don Hickman. At the start of the '55 season, Don was battling j for starting honors with veter j ans Ron Brown and Ernie Merk. j He quickly won the first string I berth with 'his determined and ; fierce play. A hard-driving run I ner, he is also rated as Troy's top backlield blocker. Hickman has also seen duty at left half and will be ready to move over if the need arises. Backing up Hickman are Tony Ortega, a standout on last year's frosh; Joe Agapay, up from the JVs. and Fred Fierce, a non-let-terman on the '54 and '55 varsity. Friday.
