All of these men have shown something on Freshman or last year's Varsity teams, but none are really finished, Grade A, foll-time players as yet.

He launched a program of diversification which took him into phonographs, vacuum cleaners, barber and beauty shop equipment, electric refrigerators, oil burners and finally into the textile factoring business.
