Moved from offensive guard where he played a season ago, Watts has shown “ ... good strength and quickness — that’s why we moved him back there,” Davis said.Watts, when not carrying the ball, a diversified look.‘‘We are going to run some I-for-improvedfensivp front formation and some wishbone. We’ll break the bone, send Beith out on a wing and throw to him and to our tight end,” Davis said, continuing, ‘‘Campbell (the quarterback) has been doing a good job of running the option for us, ne's a big kid (6-2) and can really see the field well. We’ll put him in the picket and let him throw.”Campbell split the quarterback duties with Tea Jones a year ago.Wright, moved from end to fullback during his sophomore campaign, has been moved to tailback should prove to be an excellent blocker for Wright and Beith, who will be the third back in the wishbone offense. Gargasz and John Adams can expect to see playing time in the backfield, also.When not in the backfield, Beith will serve as the wingback, with Mike Bihler and Jim Tibor vying for a spot at split end.Gander, because of his size and speed, has been moved from tackle to tight end, and has shown good blocking skills and the ability to catch the ball. Gander will be a big target for Campbell.Pyle, Dale Hortsman and John Stamp will challenge for a starting spot at tackle and Egger will return at one guard spot while Boomer Tavlor, Jim Adams and RussRichardson all will look to break in at the other starting guard position. Mark Armstrong will return as the starting center.Sophomores Glenn Campbell and Mark Scott have been working at quarterback; VanDusen will be the backup fullback, and Gargasz will spell Beith at wingback“Campbell has been running the option real well for us,” Davis said, adding, “I'm really pleased with the progress he has made in the last 1 week-and'-a-half. He did a real good job of reading (defenses) in our scrimmage with West Middlesex.”“Rodney (Wright) has been running hard — he picked up some good yardage in the scrimmage and Gargasz has been running hard. Davis noted, continuing,“I think our backfield has a little bit more depth than the line. Our line, up front, is solid, but with Gargasz and Adams, that gives us a little more depth in the backfield.”Beith will handle the placekicking and We ight will be the punter.“We’ll take three points any time,” Davis said, suggesting he wouldn’t be adverse to permitting Beith to kick the ball when deep in opposing territory.
