Coach Rod Berg aims to build a versatile backfield and a capable forward wall, noting potential lineup changes and key positions, including tackles and ends Eugene Joseph and Sortet.
Big Six Football Prospects From Mountaineers Freshmen
The freshmen squad and Hogue brother of Homer Hogue, a former Mountaineer guard, show potential with players like Howard and several sophomores expected to reach the first squad. Dally Beuis, Lough, Mackey, and Martin contend for tackle spots while Lewis Fairmont may shift to tackle after growth and agility. Coach notes spring practice revealed no team will ease through a game with this group, aiming to survive the first week and beat Duquesne. Captain Walter Red Gordon and Leland Brown compete for guard posts, with Frew, Zirbs, Copeman, Ferrara among tough sophomore prospects backing the line and defense led by Plaster, Schwartzwalder, and Mentzer in battles for center. The coach cautions not to be overly optimistic about a grueling schedule.
