Mc( lain, MannonIndian Tackle Positions;Jeffrey Won't Go NorthIn an effort to bolster bis reserve tackles. Coach Clark Shaughnessy yesterday concentrated on a couple of husky, converted sophomores. Alternating with the first string as it ran through its offense in preparation for Saturday’s game with Washington State were Bill Mannon and Ed McCain at (lie tackle spots.Mannon was Trash Coach Harry Shipkey’s top center and Mc( ain wasfirst-stringer Dick Palmer’s runnings—--—-----—--------—-——----mate at guard on last year’s highly j __r armsuccessful irosh eleven. These two have the physical requirements of size and speed to help the reserve tackles, Ed Stamm and Claude Purkitt, fill in for the now seasoned Bruno Banducci and Rod Warnccke.JEFFREY SPRAINS FOOTOne name was prominently missing from Shaughnessy’s list of 37 who will make the trek north into the region of the Cougar. It was Clyde “JifTy” Jeffrey who will be unable to make the trip because of a sprained foot. So used to running on his toes as a sprinter, Jeff was bothered by the football cleats in the heels ol his shoes and wrenched his foot during a recent practice. But with a new shoe which is cut low in the back, Jeff will be able to use his natural speed to better advantage in the future.Mr. Shaughnessy has done another little bit of shifting around. With the return of Thor Peterson, whom the coaching staff thought would make a better quarterback than fullback despite his experience at this latter position, the Cards had «a multitude of quarters.CRANE AT FULLSo Bob “Crunch” Crane has been moved from the key position just behind the center ot make room for Peterson and is now running at fullback.Three members of the Indian coaching staff will be handling scouting assignments Saturday afternoon and the Stanford coaching staff will look as streamlined as the team’s offense up in Pullman when Indian meets Cougar.End Coach Jim Lawson will head south this week-end to scout thoseTerrible Trojans who have man-•*aged to scare only one of their three opponents this year. Phil Bengtson, line coach, will take the short trip up to Berkeley to watch the battle of cousins when California meets U.C.L.A.Meanwhile, Marchie Schwartz.41*SDown San Josen Close BattleStanford’s fast-improving varsity water polo team made it two in a row over the San Jose pad-dl.ers, yesterday in the Encina pools, by turning hack the visitors 5 to 4. The first game, played here two weeks ago during the Junior Pacific Association Championships, saw Stanford win 8to 4.Led by Frank Mitchell, newly discovered offensive spark, the Cards distributed their goals evenly in all four periods, and pulled away in the third quarter to win handily. The hard-working San Jose aggregation threatened several times but were unable to break through the defense work of Captain Ted Moreno, Mitchell, and the goalies. Smith and Breckner.The Cards were only in real danger once when, at the beginning of the third period, the Stanford offense bogged down momentarily tolet San Jose even things up at four all.INDIANS IMPROVEDCoach Thornton’s fast - breaking forward wall, composed of Nottage, Tietjen, and Weeden, assisted by Mitchell, kept the ball in enemy territory most of the time.

But Washington State is undefeated, too. having been tied by the “lucky” Trojans of U.S.C., and having beaten Montana 2L-0 and California 9-6.And the Cougars have played their toughest and best games away from their home field. The psychology of playing a muchly feared team such as Stanford on their home field before a large crowd and during “home-coming” week northerners a decided vantage.The Indians on the have had, for some, reason or another, to build themselves to a high mental pitch for each of their first three games. Against U.S.F. they bad to make good, for they and the Shaughnessy system were making their 1940 debut. Against Oregon they had to go at full speed to prove their worth in conference competition, and Santa Clara was, well, Santa Clara.37 INDIANS CO NORTHIt’s going to be awful tough for the Cards to maintain their present high speed and to find a good reason for hitting the Cougars on all eleven cylinders. And in this tough Coastall the way with Stanford winning in an over-time period.STARTING LINE-UPSThe starting line-up for Stanford was: Smith, Nottage. Tietjen, Wooden.
