...other changes will be that of Frank Foley at tailback in place of Austie Harding, and Tim Russell at center over Jim Fearon. Foley who flashed as a runner in the Bruin game, will call the plays. Russell, displaced by Fearon earlier this week, earned his pivot post by excellent work yesterday...

Like every other honest young man, the Vag has oftentimes admitted to himself, and, occasionally to others, that he would make a wonderful tailback. Provided, of course, that he could ever muster time enough to get into good condition again and buck up nerve enough to report for practice.

...only regular who did not see service was Ken Booth, Harvard's bid for some kind of an "All" tackle and tailback Frank Foley but both are ready for service now. Mose Hallet filled in for him and played like he owned the post. For the scrubs guard Bill Coleman and wingback Ray Jones recently elvated to the "red-shirts," stood out. Jones passed to Win Jameson for the scrubs' lone tally...
