Russell gained his first major game experience against Princeton last fall, pinch-hitting for Bobby Jones who was out with an injury. But a starting role against Princeton this Saturday is by no means assured him, and the chief obstacle in his way is his classmate, Rick Hedblom. Ever since their Freshman year, these two have been fighting it out at the trigger post.

Coleman is the greenest member of this quartet, being the only Sophomore of the group and playing his first season at center. Last fall he was Captain Healey's substitute...
