It isn't often that a senior is so shifted around. Naturally, he would rather have played in the backfield titlists, and the Washington Redskins in the East, and the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears in the West. Curly Lambeau, coach of the Packers, arrived yesterday from Cleveland where his proteges pulled out a 7-6 victory in the final minutes over the Rams last Sunday to remain atop their section. George Marshall, owner qf the Redskins, was due to reach here late last night.

The standings at the present time show New York and Washington deadlocked with eight wins, one loss and one tie apiece in the East. They meet in the Polo Grounds next Sunday in their closing game.

Vincent, Scully, a local accountant, visited the Buc offices and informed President Art Rooney that he represented a group of local businessmen who were desirous of keeping the grid franchise here.

They are prepared to match the one bona fide offer of $50,000 for a part ownership and a shift of the franchise to Boston. Scully said he would be willing to accept 49 per cent of the stock and leave Rooney in active charge. Armand Niccolai. veteran of six straight seasons of play, announced yesterday that he will quit the grid game. The star right tackle has proved one of the greatest place-kickers in the league, converting three extra points and booting a placement, goal in the.

farewell fray against Philadelphia. When Bert Bell, Eagle owner, heard Nick planned to retire, he offered Rooney the Eagles' second choice in this winter's draft in exchange for the ex-Duquesne stars contract. He insisted he would make Niccolai such an attractive offer that he would return to the grid wars.

"Mixing the seniors with the younger men worked out better for us than picking a first team from among the experienced men. "We were all helped by everyone's willingness to take the assignment given. As a result, I believe it's a team w-ithout an individual star. The team was the first and only consideration. Everyone was willing to yield any point to help out.

"The boys were better against Tech than they were all season. I guess we looked our worst against Manhattan, but Coach Herb Kopf told me later that Manhattan's game against us was the best they had looked all season. Maybe we had something to do with that. "Our biggest danger spot was getting ready for North Carolina State. After beating Pitt it was pretty hard to convince the boys that North Carolina State would give us trouble.

That was natural. North Carolina State was naturally waiting for us, as we were undefeated, and had beaten Pitt, and on the other hand, their record could not impress the Duquesne boys. We were glad to get out of there with a victory under the circumstances." The Dukes will lose Nery, radio, Eureka. Mazinet, McMillm, Yurch-ey, Mazzone. and Weight and Ce-cere by graduation.
