GRIDMEN DRILL FOR TILT WITH QUAKERS

Casualties From Chicago Game Also Back in Lineup; MacKinney Clinches End Berth

By Donald Peddie

Cheered by the return of allying Torbie Macdonald to his regular tailback post yesterday afternoon, the Crimson Varsity football squad went through a spirited workout, which was devoted to learning defensive assignments against Penn plays and acquiring a bit more offensive polish. This was topped off by a brisk 40 minute scrimmage between the C team and the Jayvees.

Macdonald is a certain starter against the Quakers on Saturday, and he will probably be ready for contact work tomorrow. The only casualties in the point-a-minute Chicago romp were three minor charley horses for Charley Spreyer, Frannie Lee, and Chub Peabody. All three will be ready for action by tomorrow. Ernie Sargeant, another reported casualty, was back in his regular first-string guard spot yesterday.

Koufman and Lovett

Both Joe Koufman and Gene Lovett served fair warning yesterday in the Jayvee-C team scrimmage that they have returned to the fight for Varsity terminal posts. Neither outpost candidate made the trip to Chicago because of injuries, but both are ready now. Loren MacKinney seems pretty solidly entrenched at the left wing, but either Koufman or Lovett has a chance to edge out operatives Kelley or Devine for the other job.

The A and B teams lined up as follows: l.e., MacKinney; l.t., Miller; l.g., Lowry; c., Ayres; r.g., Sargeant; r.t., Hallett; r.e., Kelley; q.b., Coleman; l.h., Macdonald; r.h., Heiden; f.b., Brown.

B team: l.e., Downing; l.t., Elser; l.g., Lacy; c., Grover; r.g., Pfister; r.t., Gardiner; r.e., Devine; q.b., Curtis; l.h., Buckley; r.h., Summers; f.b., James.

Tom Healey and Joe Gardella were absent from practice because of labs.
