Yesterday's session, final real workout before tomorrow's game, featured pass drills, with tailbacks Jimmy Noonan and Chuck Roche hitting ends Johnny Fiorentino, Bob DiBlasio and Phil Bolster in impressive fashion...
...DiBlasio and Johnny Fiorentino, tackles Chief Bender and Doug Bradlee, guards Howie Houston (he'll play tackle on defense) and Jack Coan, and center Paul O'Brien. The starting Varsity backfield will consist of Captain Kenny O'Donnell at wingback. Booming Bill Henry at quarterback, Jimmy Noonan or Chuck Roche at tailback, and either Chip Gannon or Paul Shafer at fullback. Gannon and Shafer are the only non-Bay Staters in this group...

The final decision on the actual starters here will not come out until just before game-time Saturday, but whatever the outcome, it is not too significant: Coach Valpey will have his players running on and off the field in a constant stream during the game...
Before he can expect to trot out onto the Stadium greensward Saturday, though, he must convince three men by the names of Stone, Hickey, and Glynn that this pre-season rating is not merely idle talk.

Chuck is back now, minus the cast, and intends to outfight his three competitors for the starting job. He started getting into shape at his New York home this summer a month before fall practice opened. Like O'Brien, Stone, and Hickey, he may be used as a defensive line-backer this fall...
