...learned to wince whenever Fortie takes off. "When he's carrying the ball, you'd better figure on six or eight men getting in on the tackle. He'll wiggle away for sure if you don't," says Wyoming Coach Lloyd Eaton. A scrawny 168-pounder who could pass for the water boy, Fortie does not bulldoze through the line; nor can he boast a scatback's breakaway speed.

King faked a kick and threw to end John Chambers for two points to put Lehigh in the lead...
Barring injuries, the Harvard lineup Saturday will see sophomore Bill Grana, 5' 11" 192 pounder from St. Louis, starting at fullback. Chuck Reed, switched from fullback to halfback recently, will probably start at right half with Tom Boone at left.
