Coach Explains
Why Grambling
Not in Top Ten
GliAMDLING, La.—Coach Eddie
Robinson of Giamblin'g has come
up with a plausible explanation
why his Tigers are not rated
anion.g the nation's top 10 sma]l-
i.c!le"e teams.
“1 suppose they think we’re too
big.” the coach asserts sheepishly.
These Tigers are such a big and
healthy lot that it just doesn’t
sputi fair lo rank them on the
MiHlIcoIlege horizon.^
Gi ambling (6 1) has the nation’s
blggesl cullcRe .squad. The Tiger?
torenible piuI even rival the Balti
more Colts in their reaction to
trespassers on Iheir domain.

247 pounds per man.

ollirr college front wall in the
country.
This mass of humanity—1.675
pounds includes Frank Cornish,
a well-beefcd-nut 280 pound giant,
and agggr''ssive Alphonse Dol.son.
who qualifies admirably as the
nation's most glamorous lineman
at 268 pounds.
Dotson is always on the front

have labeled him "the he.st tackle I
