Starting tonight for the Crimson will be George Harrington and Mike Donohue at guard, Griff McClellan at center, and Captain Bob Repetto and Bob Bowditch at forward. The squad was strengthened this week where it needed it most when 6 ft., 5 in. John Foker joined the team. Because he has had little practice to date, however, he will probably see limited action in the first few games...

Major Power deserved the attention; he had served his country well during World War II. As an actor, he had been better than many of Hollywood's handsome heroes.
