Fortunately the other eight men who will take to Soldiers Field turf for the Crimson are better aligned. The only question is whether Charley Roche's pulled thigh muscle will keep him on the bench, in which case John Caulfield will open in left field.

Essayan, a 22 year old Junior, sat on the bench during most of the southern trip, but his peppery performance in practice this week has impressed Samborski.

The Boston sportwriters have already declared a cold war on Marse Joe because of his gruff refusal to answer questions. Said a Boston Post sportwriter...
