'43 GRID CANDIDATES TURN OUT 100 STRONG

Freshman gridiron candidates, 100 strong, were outfitted today in Dillon Field House and pranced through their opening paces before Head Coach Skip Stahley and Coaches Latta McCray, Bill Rawls, and Dave Colwell.

That number is expected to swell up to about 120 by Monday when the last Yardling football hopefuls will report for practice. Of this year's group there are 39 backs, 28 ends, 14 tackles, 15 guards, and five centers. The bumper crop of flankmen is headed by Exonians Charley Tobias and Johnny Shattuck.

Heading the list of line prospects and appearing on paper as the outstanding lineman on the squad is Bob Fisher, a nineteen year old Andover graduate whose father coached Harvard from 1919 to 1925. Fisher is a tackle, tipping the scales at 193 pounds.

The first-year men worked for a little over an hour yesterday in a session which was devoted chiefly to fundamentals.

Kicking and blocking were stressed as the Yardling linemen went through a drill with the machines and the backs practiced their passing and punting. The season opens on October 7 with the Exeter game.
