From the freshman crop Connie Gildea looks pretty good. "Dolan is dependable," stated Danowski, "since he changed his attitude toward the game he has become a good ball player. He is ii. .it .£ ii Si a bit prone to injury and that's why we are not going to worry about him missing these spring drills."
TOM MARESKI DEPENDABLE Hal's Amazing At center, offensively, it looks like Ed Kozdeba all the way. Right now he is far ahead of the field. In the line four boys from the freshmen .team should really give a lot of help, they are Al Fenoroli, Stan Lewchishen, ^ cO-engined Travef Bargain Bob Silk and John Tronski. The first two are tackles and the latter two guards. Danowski has nothing but praise for Silk, who he said was in the passers lap all during last season's scrimmages. "He'll give a passer a fit rjy all-day long." Offensively Fred McAllister and Ed Boyle, (Ed broke his f-S nose Friday) look to have a little edge on a large group of guards. Defen- ™MGHTHAWK sively there is Tom Mareski who plays a great game all the time. "We are counting on Tom to pull that defensive line together; he is a great com- petitor and will outplay boys that outweigh him by twenty pounds." That was "Big Ed's" feelings on Tom who was a first team choice on the ALL- trcaac CATHOLIC ALL-AMERICAN team picked by Extension magazine last season. The tackle position looks good just now with the two freshmen men- tioned, as well as holdovers from last season, Val del Rico, Art Hickey, Tom Murrin, Bill Meuser, Bob Ncwcombe and Paul Westenberger.
