Wally Flynn and John Florentine seem well-established at ends, as do Ed Davis and Ned Dewey at tackles and Jack Fisher at center, Nick Rodis and Drvaric will probably be the starting choices at the guard berths, but Jim Feinberg and Bob Drennan will undoubtedly play major roles against the Bulldogs...
