Andover's Sosman heads Dick Mane-gold for the running guard berth and though a bit slow in leading interference looks good. At the other guard is Russell Stannard, 180 pound Middlesex star, while the tackles remain in the hands of Bob Fisher and Tom Rogstad, all of whom acquitted themselves well in Saturday's game.
