...first "A" versus "B" scrimmage of the year, but the bump was not serious and he is not expected to miss any practice. Coach Harlow's first and second elevens were outstanding on the defense yesterday, but neither was able to show much on the attack. Charley Spreyer scrimmaged yesterday, spending the afternoon with the "B" outfit...
...excited about. Captain Joe Gardella, tough-fibred handyman, will fill in wherever he is needed the most; at present that appears to be the fullback spot. Bill Brown will give him what little relief he needs. George Heiden is firmly entrenched in the blocking quarterback position, and Charley Spreyer and Fran Lee will round out the backfield at tail and wingback respectively...
...Spreyer and Lee are endowed with much natural ability, and both may hit the jackpot in this, their Junior year. They lack the speed of a Torbie Macdonald, however, and neither is much of a forward passer. That is where Don MacNicol, last year's yearling leader, steps into the picture. McNicol is a genuine triple-threat artist, with the accent on passing. That talen will make Dick Harlow give him much consideration oven though his progress is slow in other departments of the game. He is undoubtedly the best backfield contribution of the class of 1943, but Calob Loring...
...This present Crimson team seems to be capable of heads-up play for 60 minutes of football. The line is more rugged and should be able to prevent too many long thrusts, but the backfield may be vulnerable to forward passes. Lee and Heiden are quite definitely short, while Spreyer and Gardella are about six feet. They looked lost trying to cope with a man like tall Harlan Gustafson of Penn last year, and there may be more of the same sort of trouble in store again...
George Helden seems to be Bill Coleman's successor at the blocking quarterback role, with Hank Vender Eb, Dave Goldthwait, and Ted Lyman backing him up. Versatile Charley Spreyer will probably be the starting tallback, and talented Don McNicol will be a capable substitute. Bill Lyie, Ed Buckley, and Cliff Helman are other possibilities...
