...offensive drill emphasized running plays, giving Moffie a chance to get back into condition. The line included Pete Coyne and Duke Sedgwick at the guard positions and Al Wilson at strong side tackle. Coyne and Sedgwick were filling in for Howis Houston, still stiff and kept out of action, and John Coan, not yet fully recovered from his Cornell bruises. Wilson, a converted end, replaced Chief bender, who ran with the second offensive line and maybe used mainly on defense Saturday. Stretch mazzone alternated with Fred Harvey at right end and will probably be sound enough to face the Indians...
