of the injuries. The Colonial mentor,
who has been solving tough gridiron
problems for more than 20 years,
probably will pit a more versatile
backf1eld against Elon College Friday
night than he had week ago.
When Bruce Mahan and Jay Tur-

coach Immediately took in hand Herb
Reeves, left halfback, and made him
over as a fullback, because Herb has
great leg drive, which is essentional
to an effective line-smasher. Then
he selected Frank Merka. normally
fullback, but whose chief asset is
blocking, and placed Frank at Ma

changes gave him a chance to see
what Joey kaufman, the boy who
disappointed in 1885, could do at left

The new combination functioned

against a team such as Elon. But
Pixlee declared his mind isn't made

be effected before practice is finished

At any rate. because of the switch

going to be better group than a

usual left half post, If the occasion
demands, and Merka can jump into
the fullback berth. With Howard
Tihila, Jay Kenslow and Kingston
Burnham, three other promising can
didates, acquainted with the duties
of right half, this second possible
combination also should click.
