...Coach Fisher has picked Clark as first-string center this week in place of Bradford. Clark has not started a game for the University this fall, having been handicapped for two weeks with an injured leg.

...eleven men whom Coach Fisher will probably start against Penn State tomorrow will differ radically in their personnel from the team which took the field against Georgia last week. The new make-up of the Crimson combination has come party on account of injuries and partly because the coaching staff was not satisfied with the showing made by several men in last Saturday's struggle and in the scrimmages held Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

...Coach Fisher does not expect to hold further scrimmages this week as last minute injuries at this time might prove a fatal handicap on Saturday. The rest of the week, therefore, will be devoted to signal practice, dummy scrimmage and to the perfection of defence against Penn State plays
