Gridders Audition Tomorrow Night
Coach Ted Forbes will give local grid followers a chance to view the 1953 version of the Aggie varsity football team tomorrow night when he sends his charges through an intrasquad game on the local turf.
The game will be played beneath the lights, with kickoff time slated for 8:00 p.m. The exhibition which will mark the termination of spring practice, will display the materialwith which Forbes will have to work, come next September; barring, of course, the addition of Frosh and Transfer gridsters next fall.
Heading the list of the 41 candidates who will see action tomorrow night are returning lettermen Norm Dossa, Jim Reynolds, and Jack Dickenson, halfbacks. Hal Leigh is looned to for work horse duty at fullback; while Big Bob Chilcott is expected to be the "big" gun in the Aggie line next fall. Bob will no doubt see much action at his tackle position. Rich Raycraft will return at center, with Don Donsing and Lou Hausmann slated to fill the "distal" positions as ends.
At the all important quarterback position, Forbes can call on Bill Bizzini, Ken Crandall, who is up from the J.V.’s, and Leroy Johnson.
Rounding out the backfield are George Weiss, half back, John Naviaux, who has been elevated from the J.V.’s, and Bill Retzer, fullback.
Expected to add much strength to the line are Bob Maulhardt, Duane Damron, and Gerald Henderson at end; Wayne Bonde, Richard Heringer, Al Deutsch, and Mike Hill at guards; Marty Fineman, Hal Charter, Herald Griffith, Bill Edger, Ray London, and Martin Wayne at tackles; Bob Warren and George Woofe are counted upon to help Raycraft, a returning letterman, at the center position.
As an added attraction tomorrow night, the officials will be none other than Provost Stan Freeborn, Dean of Men, Lysle Leach, and director of athletics "Crip" Toomey,
