TORBIE MACDONALD GETS LEG INJURY IN PUNTING PRACTICE

Harlow Sends Two Teams Through Stiff 40 Minute Drill; Pete Elser Returns to Contact Work

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yesterday afternoon the name of Captain Torbie Macdonald was added to the list of players who have been lost to Coach Dick Harlow for a few days at a time this fall when the fleet tailback was carried from the practice field with a leg injury.

The extent of Macdonald's injury, received during a 15 minute pressure punting drill, was not immediately ascertained. Medicos decided to withhold judgment on him until today. The Crimson leader was felled by a hard-charging scrub line as he was attempting to get off a punt.

Aside from that major mishap, things went along quite smoothly as Coach Harlow drove the boys through a strenuous 40 minute scrimmage session. No touchdowns were registered, so most of the afternoon's standout performers excelled on defense.

Joe Gardella had a busy time breaking up many A team plays, and Loren MacKinney continued to look good at the left flank. Peabody, Lowry, and Sargeant manned the guard slots on the A team all day, and their work was entirely satisfactory.

Elser Scrimmages

Yesterday marked the first return to actual contact work for tackle Pete Elser, recovering from a badly bruised shoulder. Wingman George Haydock got a red shirt yesterday, bringing the total up to 28. Other recent additions have been tackle Tom O'Loughlin and bucker Bill Brown.

The lineups:

A team: le., MacKinney; lt., O'Loughlin, Elser; lg., Lowry, Peabody; c., Ayres; rg., Sargeant; rt., Gardiner; re., Haydock; qb., Coleman; lh., Lee; rh., Heiden; fr., Spreyer.

B team: le., Downing, Vander Eb; lt., Wood, Elser; lg., Peabody, Lowry; c., Rower; rg., Hallett; rt., Armstrong; re., Devine; qb., Curtis; lh., Helman; rh., Gardella; fb., Brown
