Word was received last week that another former Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.) star was making a name for himself in college football. The clipping we received had this to say:

"Beaver Guard – Standout in the center of the Bemidji State College line this season is Sylvester Champa, regular guard from Virginia. Champa has started three games for the Beavers and has excelled as a linebacker. Saturday the Beavers will be bidding for the Minnesota State College conference title when they entertain Moorhead in the annual Bemidji homecoming classic. A win by the Beavers will ensure them of at least a tie for the title.
