    Middies Had Best Beware Of Miomi’s Mira and Miller While Hardin admits concern over Miami’s passing attack, he had some CHEEKY news about his own. He says he is pleased with the continued improve ment shown by Ron Klemick, who clicked for two touchdown passes in Navy’s 44–⁠6 rout of William & Mary, and with the play of Klemick’s understudy, Bruce Abel, who completed five of seven passes last week. The return of Al Hughes, sidelined for the first two games with a broken jaw, also should add oomph to the pass ing attack. In Tuesdays Scrimmage, Hughes caught nine passes, tops so far for a practice session. He’ll be the flanker back on Navy’s offensive unit.
