Ever since Dick Harlow bade a teary farewell at the close of the 1941 season to the best Varsity line Soldiers Fields has seen in recent years--a forward wall which included such rugged characters as Club Peabody Dick Pflster, Loren MacKinney, Tom Gardiner and Vern Miller--he's been wistfully seeking its equal. To predict that this year's Beef Trust will be a replica of that famous pre-war predecessor is wishful thinking only for the most partial of Crimson rooters, but a midsummer glance at the situation has enough bright spots to lead to moderately pleasant speculation...
...charge of the Varsity line is Herb Kopp, who captained one of Harlow's carliest, and most successful elevens in the days when the oologist was cutting his coaching teeth at Western Maryland. Harry Jacunski, former Fordham end who later earned a few dollars with the Green Bay Packers, will handle the ends...
...called upon to handle the booting chores this fall, when the highly-touted Ralph Petrillo will be available, remains another of the little mystcries that will be solved when the season opens, but the knowledge that Flynn's right toe is ready for duty can't be giving Harlow any sleepless nights...
Both Cummings and Boston also boast valuable game experience and a sound background in the fundamentals of the Harlow system. Cummings was on the starting eleven for a good portion of the '42 season, and Boston, who saw less action, will be remembered as the lad who snagged a Jack Comerford pass against Penn in the only bright spot of a 19-7 going over administered by the Quakers...
There is not the depth at the tackle post that can be found among the ends at present, but Harlow may switch linemen in other heavily-stocked categories to that slot. Willo Fisher, another returnee from the '42 eleven, will probably be used at tackle, as may his brother Rollo, and the presence of three Fisher boys on the squad (Jack, of course, is slated for action on the Crimson line) is as good an indication as any that things are somewhat normal on the local football front...
