...Quarterback: three promising sophomores will vie for the position that worries Yovicsin most. Bill Kelly is the leading prospect. Kelly is the biggest of the three but the weakest passer. He is a shifty runner and, most important, seems to have the ability to move the team under pressure. John O'Grady was the most highly rated at the beginning of last fall.
