Macdonald Set to Start at Tailback; Spreyer to Open in Bucking Position

Coleman, Gardella, and Same Line Which Played Army Get Call

By Donald Peddle

Captain Torbie Macdonald not only returns to action against New Hampshire, but he also returns to the starting Crimson lineup which will face the Wildcats at 2 o'clock tomorrow. Coach Dick Harlow announced yesterday that Macdonald will be the starting tailback and that Sophomore Charley Spreyer will be moved over to the fullback spot.

Bill Coleman continues to operate at the quarterback post, and Joe Gardella rates the opening call over Fran Lee at wingback. This switch does not mean that Spreyer will not spend a lot of time at tailback tomorrow, because he will move over there from his present bucking job as soon as Macdonald needs relief.

Lowry Out

The line is the same as the one which played most of the Princeton and Army games, but there is a bit of uncertainty at left guard. Don Lowry, who was bumped in Wednesday's scrimmage, has been ruled out of the New Hampshire fracus but will be in shape by Monday.

The other ranking left guard, Chub Peabody, is not fully recovered from the pounding he took from the Cadets last Saturday and may not be able to start tomorrow. In that event, handyman George Downing would be moved up to first team left guard. Wingman Joe Koufman has a good chance to play against the Wildcats, but tackle Mono Hallett is still on the shelf.

Yesterday's practice was carried on in routine fashion, with most of the time being devoted to passing, dummy scrimmage, kicking under pressure, defense against New Hampshire plays, and signal drills. Bright point of the workout was continued improvement in the passing attack.
