JOE KOUFMAN, BURG AYRES FORCED TO MISS GRID DRILLS

For one short day the varsity end muddle was pretty definitely cleared up with the elevation of Joe Koufman to a first-string flank post as Loren MacKinney's running mate, but the satisfaction of Dick Harlow and his aids was short lived when a headache kept Koufman out of all action yesterday.

The valuable practice which he missed wiped out the edge he had on Bart Kelley and Jim Devine for the right wing post. Koufman is expected back today, but right now neither Harlow nor end-tutor Fesler know who will answer the opening whistle Saturday. They wish they did.

Ayree Has Sore Foot

Another notable absentee from yesterday's drill was first string pivot man, Burgy Ayres. Ayres was sidelined with a sore foot but will be ready to go today. Other casualties, Frannie Lee and Charley Spreyer, sporting minor charley horses, took it easy during yesterday's brief scrimmages, punt practice, and long passing drill.

Captain Torbic Macdonald removed any doubt concerning his fitness to start in Saturday's tilt. He participated in a short scrimmage session, which found the A team taking the defensive and dished out a couple of hard tackles to scrub ball carriers.

Three years ago to the week, another widely heralded Sophomore studded Crimson football squad had brushed aside its first two opponents with comparative ease and was anxiously awaiting its first major test. The first two victims had been Amherst and Brown by 38 and 28 to 0 margins.

And the result of that first real football game in 1936--Army 32, Harvard 0.
