Bo Rowland, George Washing

Colonial manpower shortage Of the
last two years has been eased
somewhat for the 1850 season. but
he adds that he still is a long way
from being able to use the two
platoon system.
We've been so thin down here
for so long that when we do get a
couple of extra boys people start
thinking all our troubles are over.
But it's not so" Rowland said yes

Colonials to Be Versatile.
II don't mean I'm going to keep
my best II men in the game all the
time until they're whipped. I'm
going to be able to rest them more
than I could last year. But prac-
tically everybody on the squad is
learning how to play two or three
positions"
At tailback and fullback there
will be a lot of switching, particu-
larly when Andy Davis and Jack
Baumgartner, the latter a sopho-
more, are in there. And Davis is
going to play on defense. too.
HE isn't going to be any 60
minute player. That's too much
to ask of anybody, the way they
play this football nowadays" !"
Rowland said, "but he's still the
best defensive back I've got and
I'm going to use him. Certainly
when the other team gets down
around our 10-yard line you're
going to see Davis in there. If he
can stop a touchdown it's Just as
good as making one"
One thing the easing of the
manpower situation at G. w. will
do is allow Rowland to have
more intrasquad scrimmages. He
didn't dare bang his boys into
each other last year for fear of
injury, but now he hopes to get
in some stiff sessions every week.
First probably will be later this
week.
