KUEHN AGAIN ASSIGNED RIGHT TACKLE POSITION

ENTIRE SQUAD DRIVEN IN HARD SESSION ON DUMMIES

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the appearance of Kuehn at right tackle and W. Ticknor at right guard in the team A lineup two days in succession. Harvard's line problem seems to be solved, for the Florida game at least. No official announcement of the lineup has been made but it is almost certain that the forward wall will appear on Saturday just as it did in yesterday's dummy scrimmage against Florida plays.

At the start of the week W. Ticknor was given another try at tackle and Talbot was at guard, but Tuesday Kuehn got the tackle assignment and Ticknor shifted back to guard again. This combination seems to be the best one at present and should get the call on Saturday. B. Ticknor will hold down the center post flanked by Trainer and Barrett on the left while O'Connell and Douglas should be the ends.

The backfield situation, although not as unsettled as earlier in the week, was still undecided. Wood and Mays were both absent because of an afternoon examination and Gilligan filled in at left half again with Putnam, Devens and Harper completing the quartet. If Wood and Mays had been there it would be interesting to note what the result would have been. It is highly improbable, however, that Gilligan will start against the Alligators. Either Putnam or Mays will replace him. Wood will call signals if the former is chose, but Putnam, will direct the team in the event of May's starting.

Besides getting a stiff workout on the tackling and blocking dummies, team A and a 15-minute dummy scrimmage against Florida plays as put on by the seconds. Coach Knox had imported Roscoe Fitts '22, former Crimson halfback, because of his left-footed kicking. He played the part of Clyde Crabtree, Florida's left-footed punter.
