Another offensive backfield alignment put Bill Monteith at quarterback, Hardy Cox at tailback, and Jerry Blitz at fullback, while Otis Dewan and Frank White alternated at wingback.

Both offensive backfields went through lengthy rehearsals of plays. Gil O'Neil quarterbacked the "A" unit, with Dick Clasby at tailback, John Ederer at wingback, and John Culver at fullback. The "B" unit featured Bill Monteith at quarterback, Jerry Blitz at fullback, Hardy Cox at tailback, and sophomore Otis "Ki" Dewan at wingback...
