Saltonstall '28, lone Crimson scorer in last year's Bowl encounter, has been enabled to devote his entire time to his multiple official and scholastic duties. G. K. Brown '28, who was one of the leading end prospects until yesterday, has been shifted to the backfield where he will be given a try-out at quarter...
