Senior Bill Kelly, who was sidelined last Fall following a knee operation, has been switched back to quarterback after playing safety as a sophomore, but he'll need time to adjust. And none of the three sophomores, Rod Foster, Eric Crone or Frank Guerra, has all the tools necessary to move in either...
...Foster may have the best chance of breaking in as the regular signal-caller. Kelly, at 6' 2", 195, has the best size of any serious contender for the position, can run and pass fairly well, and is probably the most knowledgeable field general. Foster, who split duties with Crone on the freshman team last year, is the flashiest competitor since John McCluskey to challenge for the quarterback slot.

...Crone, who compares well with Kelly in size, is a good physical quarterback, but lacks the necessary poise to take over a starting spot at the moment. Guerra, who saw action as a reserve on the freshman squad last year, may need seasoning with the JV squad before he is ready to assume a varsity role...
...Detroit potato-chip manufacturer offers flag decals with his jumbo size. In Chicago, the Cubs announcer, Jack Brickhouse, appears in an ad with a star-spangled crone playing Betsy Ross. "I'm keeping busy," says Betsy. "I've got to get ever so many flags over to the American National Bank for their special holiday offer . . . Made of my best colorfast bunting, too." Gas stations pass out antenna flags with each purchase. In Atlanta, the Winn Dixie supermarkets offer flag pins with each $5 purchase?one to a customer. One Detroit department store is pushing a line of red, white...
Smith is graduating today, but the other three will be back. Eric Crone, a freshman, and Billy Kelly, a safety who played quarterback in high school, are two other candidates for the position. None of the five is an obvious choice, so they'll all have to fight it out in the September training camp...
