Right guard Dave Glueck was the only member of the "A" team hors do combat; he is only slightly bumped and will be set within a day or two. With the exception of Ben Smith, bucker who relieved Cohen for only a few moments, Harlow ordered no scrimmaging for Saturday game players. He had Frank Foley, Bob Burnett, and Austie Harding do some kicking in the stadium and then put the Varsity through some dummy scrimmaging against Cornell plays...
