Only once has a backfield as powerful as today's played for a Bruin team. That was on the "Iron-Man" team of 1926. The four starting backs will be McLaughry at quarter, Captain Atwell at left half, O'Leary right half and Hall at full. "Shine" Ball is a triple threat man, dangerous at all times.

Both these men are being groomed for probable service this fall, for although Tim Russell and Rick Hedblom are now rated ahead of them it is not expected that either will be able to give the iron-man performance turned in by Jones last fall.
