Saturday afternoon. Plenty of Rest Dickinson hasn't plaved since a ago yesterday, wfien it scored its memorable 6-0 victory over the Army Plebes, and Wyoming received an extra week of. rest when its game with the Lafayette.

According to a story appearing iri a Wilkes-Barre paper, Wyoming's coach, Edgar Brace, intends a hew and considerably improved backfleld combination against the Gold here Here's what appeared in the Wilkes-Barre, paper: "Coach Edgar Brace's new backfield combination hasn't had a real chance yet to show what it can do.

Brew will be in at fullback and the other four will alternate, at the halfback posts. Brew is 'a triple threat man.

"Line Coach Norman Smith has a big group of huskies who will make up the forward wall. Bart and both veterans, will hold dowa. the end positions. Captain Mozur and Lehman, each weighing 192 pounds, will play alongside of the wingmen. Wilkinson and Mosedale will be in the guard berths and Joe Laird, who was converted from an end.

will be in the middle of the.line. "Kratz Morgan, Albee, Riofski, Easen and Gemmel are the line replacements." Final Stiff Drill Today Earl Z.

Instead of playing with the Boston Shamrocks of the American Professional Football League, Kelley said he would cover the more important fames of the cnnent season for a chain of newspapers. Referring to reports that authorities of the Peddle School had applied pressure to force him to surrender the pro playing idea, Kelley said: "This is not true. The school officials have at all times been helpful." Pursell Precedent High Squad Scrimmages Dissatisfied with the performance of his charges both offensively and defensively in the last two games, Coach Art Pursell has broken a precedent and returned scrimmage sessions to the.practice routine of the Williamsport High School football squad.

Pursell generally calls off all contact work after the first game of the season, but changed the procedure because the Cherry and White machine wasn't clicking to his liking. He sent the Millionaires through a brisk scrimmage Tuesday afternoon and intends to have them scrimmage every time they appear a bit stale. Fundamentals stressed in yesterday's drill Respects Albri'jht Bisons, Expecting Hard Battle At Reading Saturday, Sent Through Brisk Workout. Sitarsky Labels LEWISBURG Intensive activity yesterday afternoon on the practice field at Bucknell University's Memorial Stadium belied the fact that Albright College's Lions have never defeated the Bisons in an intercollegiate football game. Convinced from the reports of his scouts that the Thundering Herd faces a stiff battle in Reading Saturday, Coach Al Humphreys sent his players through a brisk -workout that included a scrimmage between the varsity and freshmen, the latter using- Albnght Since the Bucknell game will be Albright's Home coming contest, Humphreys fears that the Lions will be doubly prepared to upset the Bisons if the visitors let down for a moment.

With Captain Dick Riffle, left halfback, as the spearhead, Albright has one of the most powerful attacks he has seen all season, Johnny Sitarsky, Bucknell freshman mentor, who scouted the Lions as they crushed Moravian, 25-0, last Saturday, reported to Humphreys. In addition, the Reading eleven is so rugged defensively that it has not yielded a point this season. Its reserve strength is better than Bucknell's surplus manpower, according to Sitarsky. Humphreys refused to be optimistic about the fact that Bucknell scored a smashing victory over Ursinus, which in turn tied Albright, 0-0. He explained the Albright Ursinus deadlock, on the grounds that "Lone Star" Dietz's Lions, entering the game expecting to win, were baffled by a new defense uncovered by- the Bears.

The Bucknell-Albright series began in 1928, and since that time the Bisons games. have won five straight ARMOUR LEAGUE as preparations for the traditional tussle with Lock Haven High at Lock Haven Saturday neared completion. Conway, Dugan on Sidelines Two members of -the-varsity array, Page Conway, veteran guard, and. Johnny Dugan, quarterback. were absent from the practice field yesterday.

Conway has been ordered to rest for a coupe of to permit an old knee injury, which he aggravated in the John Harris game to heal properly. Dugan also aggravated an old leg injury, but is expected to be ready for the Lock Haven tilt along with Sal Rosato and Al Schmalacher, two other Cherry and White cripples.
