Football Practice Starts as 50 Men Report to Lamar

Out of the nearly 50 Crimson gridmen who reported to head coach Henry Lamar for the opening 1944 drill yesterday at Soldiers Field, will come the Crimson eleven which will charge out onto the Stadium turf next September.

The leaves weren't blazing red and yellow yesterday, and no October tang was in the air, but plenty of pigskin was flying as the squad, class only in athletic shorts and cleats, ran through signal drills and pass defense. No contact work is expected for awhile.

In addition to head coach Lamar, the Crimson Coaching setup this fall will have former Washington Redskin professional Chief Richard Tuckey as line coach. Floyd Stahl will handle the backfield, and Chief Piscol will tutor the ends. An informal schedule, similar to that of last fall, is planned for this year's Crimson eleven.
