workouts today in preparation for the up-ooming campaign. ,· All five area prep grid leagues are set for expan· sion or oontraction in membership, with the '63 season the prime target.

The Greater Cincinnati League, long heralded as Cincinnati's toughest circult, takes on three /lew membei's this year-1 MeN i c h o 1 a s , Moeller and LaSalle join the GCL's "Big ' Four"-Roger Bacon Purcell, Elder and st. xavier/ . .

L1~tle can be ~~pe~ted of ·1 the. newcomers m 62, but ~ tl)e following seaso1:1 should squelch the pessimists who I condemn the GCL expan1 sion.

Me an w h ile, defending ~hampton Roger Bacon (3-0 last year) poses a thundering repeat threat.

The Public High School League will take Aiken High into the varsity fold in '63, expanding to an eight-team loop. Aiken Will compete in . reserve ranks this year.

Central defends the PHSL title, winning out over a strong Woodward team last year on a 4-1-1league mark.

Withrow stands to improve quite a bit thls season, having won the PHSL reserve title last year. Anumber of coaching and administrative changes in the Public League will make for some interesting results on all front<: The Millcreek Valley Leag'ue, a three-team race last season with Wyoming copping laurels on a 6-o-1 record, will probably follow the same pattern in '62.

Deer Park and Greenhills join the defending cowboys again this season to form the MVIL "Big Three."

St. Bernard, MVIL cellardweller last season, drops football this year. Deer Park will move to the Eastern Hills League in 1963. Wyoming, by-the-by, has gone four seasons without losing a league game.

Anderson won Its first Bamilten County League title since 1948 last season

KENWOOD Moeller High School will compete. on the varsity level this fall for the first time.

Alt-hough the school will he a member of the G.C.L., it will not be a member of the O.H.S.A.A. until September of 1963 only because it will not be a four-year high school before then.

As a member of the G.C.L., the CRUSADERS will be playing some of the strongest teams in Ohio while fielding only Sophomores and Juniors! In preparing for this heavy schedu_le, some 60 boys reported on the first day of practic_e. There will -be 44 -boys cam·ied on the varsity squad.

Since this will be. the first varsity, and since there are no Seniors, Head Coach Gerry Faust, and his assistants have no veterans upon whom to depend, nor around whom to builp. In spite of the absence of experienced players, however, the coaches feel that the boys will give a good showing of themselves this fall.

Assistant coaches for Moeller are George Markley, Andy Chiodi, Mike Morrisey, reserve; Jim Cafferky and Bob Strayer, freshmen.

Bill Clark is the statistician. Student managers are Don Elsbrook, !Mike Kelly, Jerry Lineberger, Bob Lynch, Jerry Niebur, Jerry Torkars and Steve Zimmer.

Dr. E. Vance Walters, D.O. is the team physician.

Brother Joseph R. Choquette, S. M. is the school's athletic director.
