CLARK, TRIPP, AND MASON WORK IN TEAM A BERTHS

LIGHT WORK--OUT RULE FOR CRIMSON SQUAD IN PRACTICE

Further shifts in the Team A. line-up were the dominant feature of the University football work-out again yesterday afternoon. Every day this week has seen some change in the Crimson first string combination; and according to Coach Arnold Horween '20 the final decision as to what players will face Indiana at the opening whistle tomorrow may not be reached until after the squad has gone through its limbering up exercises just before game time.

F. A. Clark '29 made his first appearance in the Team A combination yesterday since his injury in the Holy Cross contest two weeks ago: J. E. Barrett '30, who filled his place against Dartmouth, being dropped to one of the Team B tackle berths. B. C. Tripp '28 and T. F. Mason '30 were the other additions to the list of players who have held Team A positions this week. Tripp, who has not started a University game since the Tiger encounter at Princeton two years ago, was at left guard in place of John Parkinson '29, while Mason replaced David Guarnaccia '29 in the Crimson backfield. Unless A. E. French '29 starts tomorrow's game at either quarter or halfback, the chances seem pretty good of Mason's facing the Hoosier eleven. The Sophomore, although very light, is one of the best punters on the squad and also a speedy runner. With G. E. Donaghy '29 out of action for two weeks at least. Mason will be needed to carry out the punting assignment unless the coaches decide to make use of French in this department.

G. J. Douglas '30, Sophomore wingman who appears to have caught the coaches attention by his work in this week's practice sessions, was again at right end on Team A yesterday and is practically assured of holding down that job in tomorrow's game.

Practice yesterday was of a light nature, signal drill and a dummy scrimage against Indiana plays as put on by the Ineligibles being the program of work for the Crimson football cohorts.
