������ The Colgate Maroon will face Case tomorrow, when the visitors from Cleveland arrive at Whitnall field for both teams second game of the season.� Case won their first game of the season, 32-0 over Hiram.� While Hiram is not much of anything, Case used it's entire roster in that game.�� Coach Kerr looks foward to the game this weekend, and reveals a Colgate connection to this midwest team.�� "We look foward to a much harder game with Case than we had with St. Lawrence because they have played one game already.� We will run up against a style of play simmilar to our own, since I coached the Case mentor, Ray Ride, at William and Jefferson in 1926 and he was my end coach in 1927 and line coach in 1928.� Ray has been at Case for three years, and he is improving his team each year.� And this year he thinks he has his best, and will put up a scrap."
���� There are some injuries that need to be reported.� Bob Samuel hurt his knee, and missed practice all week.� Winnie Anderson also hurt his leg, and might not be able to play this weekend.� Ken Nield will start for him if needed.�� Pasquale is looking very good, and might get a chance to start at tackle.� Ed Prondeckie has a cold, so he might be held off the first team.� Rene Antolini also might get to start in this weeks game.� Claire Lyon could also see more playing time, he has proven himself to be the equal of Bob Rowe, who has been starting at fullback.�
����� Coach Kerr was not entirely pleased with our opening game.� The Colgate mentor was not happy with the way we were running through the line, so he brought in a bucking strap to practices this week, to get our backs up to their full effectivness.� The strap is held by two linemen, and each back must run at it full speed and must try to push through the belt until they are stopped.� Kerr had his team working hard on this drill, and Case might have a hard time trying to stop our boys this weekend!� Elsewhere on the practice field, the second team spent most of the week playing against the third team and the freshman squad.� Passing was the focus, and it was Whitey Ask who got to do most of the throwing.
����� Here is something very interesting that was reported in the Utica Observer Dispatch the other day.� A baseball great was asked about his most memorable college sports experience, and recalled a game in 1921 when his Columbia football team met the Colgate Maroons.�� "When the whistle blew, I started a battle with Welsh, the All American guard.� When they carried me away, five minutes later, I had two black eyes, and thought I had a broken nose and a mess of busted ribs."� Have you figured out who it was that said this?�� Congraduations if you guessed the Yankee's iron horse, Lou Gehrig.� Just last year Lou set an American League record with 184 RBI's, but you can bet he would not want to step out onto the gridiron against Colgate again!
������ Our final story this week is about William Summers.�� Mr. Summers could be the newest member of the freshman football team.� If the University admits him that is.� William Summers had just graduated from a high school in Brownsville Texas, when an older friend of his, and a Colgate alumni, started telling him stories about the northeastern university.� And the young Summers was intrigued by tales about campus life and football greatness.� While he had not formally applied to the school, he decided that this is where he belonged, and he set out to hitchhike the 2,700 miles to Hamilton NY.� Due to some confusion, he arrived on campus a week after classes had already started, and no school official really knows what to do about this unique situation.� His grades and application are good enough to be admitted.�� William Summers will be staying in Hamilton, while this situation is sported out, however, it is our opinion that this good and enthusiastic student should be allowed into the University.��� That concludes today's report, see you next time!
