...Cog of the freshman team so far has been six foot six center Ed Blodnick, who has scored 87 points in four games. His best point is his shooting from around the foul circle-he has a very fine touch and he takes mostly Jump shots which are almost impossible to block...

It had been designed as a big cog in the nation's defense machinery, but somebody forgot to connect it to the machine. Its first chairman, Arthur M.
