competition for guard positions has
been in evidence also. The team wel
comed Frank Moore, another letter
man back from service, on Tuesday
night. Frank was a starting guard
on the 1950 football team.
Morale is good, and the boys have
been hustling. The backs have been
running hard in scrimmage with the
line going down field for blocks.
Charlie Fitzgerald, quarterback, has
been running the team very well and
and has been mixing the attack up.
The passing has been a bright spot.

with passes on Friday and then mix
in the running plays. .
The probable starting line-up will
find Tommy Norville at left end;
Freddy Thome or Tull Taylor at
right end, Billy Shackleford and Jess
Spencer at the tackle position, guards
will be William Allen or Mark Owens
and Carroll Wooten. Billy Baker will
see some action also. The center will
be either Wilbur Boltins or Jack
Allen. In the backfield, Charlie Fitz
gerald will be at quarterback, Sigbee
Dilda at fullback, and Jess Joyner
and Teddy Allen at halfback.
Many others will see action to de
*: termine what they can do. Some of
these are Frank Moore, Jack Sawyer,
and’ Stanley Tyson, backs; Jack
