The intrasquad game should present a good line on Rebel prospects for '48. Considerable interest will be focused on the Rtbs' now 'T' offense, as wo 11 as on several new hopefuls, inc-iuding backs Bobby Hemphill, the Salley twins, D' and Red Davis, Jack Whita-ker and Bobby Jabour. Jabour is a 'T' quarterback, will work the slot along with Farley Salmon, Billy Mustin, Bob Oswalt, Buddy Bowen and Ray Choate. Their ability to manipulate the new style will have a real bearing on its use this fall. Veterans will start at most positions on both teams.

Rival right tackles arc to serve as captains, Doug Hamiey for the "Reds" and Jimmy Clark for the "Blues." Line Coach Bruiser Kinard and Freshman Coach Junie Hovious are directing the "Reds." Back-field Coach John Cain and End Coach Buster Toole the "Blues." The game, expected to attract a sizeable audience of a'iurnni and students, will get underway at 2 p. m. under sponsorship of the M' Club, organization of letter-men.
