The west has never produced a more powerful full back, and it is doubtful if any college in the country has seen his superior this year. He was’ equally strong on offense and. defense] A certain coach was asked what he thought of the Illinois line and he re- plied, ‘He ig great.’ Illinois did no have a strong line; but, with the ever- present Crangle backing it up, it showed up strongly.
