Taylor Opposed For Case Lineup Inseason Competition
Taylor, former Elyria High grid star now Case sophomore, faces opposition for the center job from Joe Poremba, last year’s varsity center and current top contender. Northwestern’s football squad lists twelve Commerce majors, including many players. Coach Stu Holcomb uses Ray Crisp of Elyria at guard, though Crisp was a tackle in high school. Notre Dame has lost one opening game since 1896, in 1934 to Texas 7 to 6. A sharp Cleveland manager critic singles out Hal Trosky and Ken Keltner as the Indians’ only regulars meeting expectations this season. Albie Litwak, Western Reserve star, left pro football after finding it too tough, joining five Rams cut last week.
