Sava Waste Paper-New Players toStart for LynxAgainst EastA shakeup in the Abraham Lincoln lineup that will face Sioux City East at Kim field Friday night seems likely.Bill Slrachan, a major letter-man who has been unable to crash the starting lineup at his accustomed fullback post, is being used at quarter-back this week, and is fighting it out for the opening now with Anthony Croushorn and Bob Currie.Bud Barrit, erstwhile regular tackle, played most of the gameagainst Prep Saturday night at route made a hero of Joe Atkins 1 ^1C fullback spot, and will prob-of the Piltsburg Crawfords and’^kly start at that post Friday, put Robinson’s boys ahead 7 to;Dick Chapman, starling fullback 5.Then came that big last of the ninth for the Firemen, Raster singled, took third on Basso’s double and came home on S. Dis-tefatio's single. Maneuso received an intentional walk and the strategy worked as Basso was forced at home on Klein's fielders choice. Then came Manzitto with the bases loaded and two down to deliver that game winning single between first and second scoring Distcfano and Maneuso.Comedy Touches.A bit of comedy was furnished In the fifth when Pitcher Sulfcon of the stars swung at a third! strike that was so close it went; inside his blouse and dropped into Hie knee of his pants. He not only struck out, but also subbed for the catcher.The fans were kept amused byat the season’s outsel, has water on the knee. He may not sec a great deal of action the rest of the season, Dick Sul ley may take over the vacated tackle berth. ^Whether End Dick Eckert, who has a bad knee, will be in shape to play Friday is uncertain. Hughes Wilcox may get the call again.The same doubts exists concerning liic availability of Guard Walt Jenkins, also crippling about with a damaged knee. Either Ned Ratekin or Joe Tra-monte may again open at the guard post normally lillccl by Jenkins.Center Jack Wise’s injured fool continues to improve, and lieshould be ready to go most ofthe way against the Black Raiders.End Jim Anderson, Tackle Norman Jessen and John Briggsri
