West Virginia football stars gather at Keyser for drills
More than 100 prospective West Virginia University football players converged at Keyser for a two week summer practice session. Coach Bill Kern seeks to gauge the 1946 squad with veterans like Gene Corum returning from service and replacements sought for John Shonk who joined the Veterans Administration. Johnny Fox gains undoubted notice as a freshman shortstop in the college baseball all star circuit, with WVU coach Ira Errett Rodgers praising him. Billy Conn’s cautious approach follows a recent knockout.
