The possibility that there would be a permanent shift in the Harvard lineup before Saturday became more and more likely yesterday afternoon when Coach Horween made several changes during the signal drill. W. Ticknor resumed his old post at right guard and Davis at the right tackle post. Talbot, who started at right guard against New Hampshire, was in togs but still felt the effects of last Saturday's game.
Whether or not the above change will be permanent still remains to be seen. By putting Ticknor back at guard, Coach Horween is nullifying the change he made ten days ago when he put the burly guard on Team B and tried him out at tackle. Ever since then the guard situation was more of a problem than the job of filling right tackle. Talbot performed creditably against the Wildcats and it was thought that he had practically clinched his job.
The present lineup, if used Saturday, will concentrate more strength in the center of the line, putting three veterans there. The two Ticknors and Trainer played there all last season and are an experienced trio. However, it will put the inexperienced Davis opposite George Perry, Army's giant All-American tackle.
The University squad sat on the side-lines for the greater part of yesterday afternoon's workout, watching Coach Knox's Seconds demonstrate Army plays, and then ran through a fast signal drill in which forward pass plays received most of the attention. Today's practice will again be featured by the presentation of Army plays. There will be no scrimmage.
