We now quote an item from the Hoosier house organ: "Hillenbrand has shown in practice that he will be even more potent." In Ihe supporting east for Hillenbrand Productions we have Chuck Jacoby, a stellar pass-snatcher and pass defender. Opposing aerial specialists failed last year to complete one pass over Jacoby 's territory. Capt. Bob White bucked his way a 5.4 average in 71 attempts last year as a Hoosier fullback. Signal-barker Lou Saban, de scribed by Bo as "tougher than pig iron from bumper to bumper" is back for more bone-crusing blocks. Bo continues: ""We have one pai rof fine ends. Our guards are green but they have fine physical equipment to play that rugged position. John Bochnicka, Howard Brown, I Vancis Linonis and Joe Zuzga are spohomores who have a lot of speed for boys over 185. "Bochnicka should be a great guard 103 pounds and can run like a halfback.
