Among them arc: Karl Johnson, quarter-back, the cap tain of -Raleigh High School;' Cr.iig, captain of Bingham Ashe ville;and the captain of. Episcopal High School. Another strong new, man is Cratch, a guard, weighing 236 pounds, who was a quarter-master sergeant of the U. S. army at Fortress Monroe where he played football.
