When the Crimson takes off against Dartmouth tomorrow, veteran pilot Chief Boston will once more be at the controls. Boston called signals in most of the major games last fall, alternating with Cliff Wilson in this office.
As a blocking back who has to do practically no ball carrying, he is in an ideal position from which to run the team. Paving the way on almost all plays with his blocking, it is he who can best gather first hand information on the Indian defense and he should be the first to defect a weakness. Nor is he open to the temptation of calling his own signal.
The A team lineup remains unchanged and with the play-calling assignment allotted, the distribution of duties is now completed. Torb Macdonald will do the punting. When and if he leaves the game, Russ Allen can always be called back from his guard position to kick. Or if this is deemed unwise, Austie Harding, Oakes' first understudy at left half, has proven himself to be a consistent punter.
To Oakes will again fall the chief passing responsibilities, with almost every other back and end sharing reception worries. Boston has proven himself to be the most reliable point-after-touchdown getter. And Struck will probably do the kicking-off.
Long kicking, passing, and defensive drills took up most of yesterday's practice time. Then after a short kick-off rehearsal, the three elevens separated for a signal drill.
On the A team, Harding alternated with Oakes at left half, Foley with Macdonald at right half.
