Mike Prashaw, who transferred
here from Michigan State, where he
won a letter at tackle last season,
has been assuming more work at
the left tackle spot as he steadily
rounds into shape. The Massena,
n. Y. lineman reported late for
practice and his big job has been
getting into shape, Line Coach
Clarence Mum said.
Another tackle aspirant, Bob CAL

service at right tackle. His prob
