ANN ARBOR's GREEK BRIGADE: Louis Hollway, coach of the Ann Arbor High football team, will pin his hopes for a successful season on the gridiron this fall squarely on the shoulders of the four stalwart Greek athletes shown above. From left to right they are Louis Apostolou, tackle; Eddie Jamadanian, quarterback; Capt. Pete Gochis, guard, and Harry Koruan, halfback.
