...other ranking left guard, Chub Peabody, is not fully recovered from the pounding he took from the Cadets last Saturday and may not be able to start tomorrow. In that event, handyman George Downing would be moved up to first team left guard. Wingman Joe Koufman has a good chance to play against the Wildcats, but tackle Mono Hallett is still on the shelf...
...Atlantic City this summer with lots of the name bands around, including his brother Tommy, Jimmy managed to gather some thousands of dance fans around for a new house record. Reason for this sort of thing is very simple: Jimmy has one of the very few bands that play good dance music, good swing, have good soloists, a colorful style, a leader that gets along with his band and the crowd, and two of the best vocalists in the business...

Pop Jenks and Jack Morgan will assist Barnes and Forte at the flanks, while Richardson at center is good on the defense, but is weak on passing. Extensive signal practice has been the main activity this week. New plays, mainly for five and seven-man line defenses, have been added...
