A quick glance at the stand ings shows the Cards out In front by 10s games with only 34 left to play.

Coach Retort (Pest) Welch and his Washington football team ha vb little to worry about rationing this fall. They should get plenty of potato. utner northwest and coast football coaches may have to worry along with 16 and 17-year-olds and 4-Fs. and some have folded up altogether (see Stanford), but Washington is in a good spot. The navy will permit its trainees to play football, and Wash ington is well-blessed with marine and navy cadets, with exper- ence won on other campuses. Tbey will have only two hours a day for sports and Coach Welch said today he would have to limit Washington prac tice sessions to an hour and a half, but that should be long enough. Practice opens September 10 and a check-up today showed 46 men had checked in for uni forms. A dozen or so more are certain to be on hand that date, too. Washington will have the help of some good former Washington State college foot ball timber, which should have Cougar Coach Babe Holling bery gnashing his teeth. Take the backfield, Sam Rob inson, Husky speedbalL, and Jay Stoves, of Washington State fame, will be heading the same direction down the gridiron this year, behind a Washington line. There's Bob Erickson, Neil Brooks, John Wingender and Pete Susick. And Gerry Austin and Bob Zech, too. Fourteen men want a wing berth. Heading the list is Jack Tracy, a letterman, but not far behind are Hec Brown, the bas ketball player, Gail Bruce, promising sophomore. Bob Moles, four-year College of Puget Sound veteran, Ed Roark, St Martin's regular, and Bruce Bern, of Yakima. Three former Huskies, and Husky is the right word, are after tackle posts. They're Leon Larson, Tony Balchunas, and Don Decks, who lost a few fingers in a longshoring acci dent this summer and will have to wear a special glove. Frank Saksa, Husky veteran, and Bill Ward, 220-pound for mer WSC veteran, are the top guard . prospects, since Tom Branigan, also formerly of WSC, was transferred to San Diego. Two' recent Seattle and ail-city Seattle high school cen ters, Gordon Berlin and Jim McCurdy, will seek the center spot . The Washington opener Is against Whitman. September 25. .
