...half-back and interior linemen also were given good grades in Restic's chart book. The first unit of center Carl Culig, guards Bill Ferry and Bob Kircher, and tackles Tim Manna and Dan Jiggetts got a particularly glowing rating...
Offensive tackle is probably the biggest headache for the Crimson coach at this time. While Tim Manna has one side sewed up, the other starting spot and the swing position are still unfilled. "I don't see anyone out of the pack who can stabilize our situation," Restic said. Restic has been working Danny Jiggetts, Dave Burlage, and Bob Wagner the most in his quest to find a solution to his tackle problem...
Monte Bownes, counted to be a stalwart in the offensive front and rated one of the top linemen in the east in the preseason of this sophomore year, has decided to give up football, causing another tough-to-fill vacancy. Add to Ferry, Friar, Manna, et. al., tackle Dan Jiggetts (6 5 in., 265 pounds), sophomore guards Phil Dombrowski and Ernie Pisanelli, and sophomore center Carl Culig and the interior line could be pretty well...

If neither of these two picks up the slack at center, Restic will be forced to move Manna from tackle, which would throw the tackle slot into confusion. Prospects for CENTER: QUESTIONABLE...
...tackle the premature departure of Bowens clouds the picture a little. Jiggetts must now step in and assume control of one tackle slot immediately. And if Manna moves to center, things really look bleak. Another possibility is Richard Lowry, a sophomore who goes 6 ft. 7 in. and weights in at 270 pounds. According to Restic, Lowry is not as far along at this point as Jiggetts, but he may be thrown into the picture earlier than planned if either Jiggetts or Manna depart. TACKLES appear GOOD BUT NO DEPTH...
