But before we wave the moleskin train out of the station, let s shuffle through the Aggie prospect cards for next season, trying to determine what we might expect of the Blue and White Funnels who have been predominantly blue this year. Strphca k line-buck- er Back in History Laeh is considered the finest allround back in Duke history, and the Blue Devils have had some pippins, Ace Tarker, the most valuable man in the National League in 1940, to name just one. senior, stands Laeh, a six feet two and weighs 190 pounds. Lach's figures would be more impressive had he not plaved the wingbaek. He averaged eight yards a carry -- d led the outfit in catching passes. He led the country in that department a year ago. His punting average was 45 yards, and he was the best blocker in the Durham party. He played 55 minutes or longer In all of his school's tough games. On defense, he did not have a superior in the land. Westfall is one of the slickest spinners the game has known. Frit Crisler built the Michigan attack nround Westfall, a fullback built close to the ground. Bob's 186 pounds is spread over no more than five feet eight inches. He averaged more than four yards per whack against the hardest kind of opposition. He fumbled only onee in three years and then, in the Minnesota game this year, when he was bumped by a young wingbaek coming too shallow on a reverse. A bruising fullback, Westfall also skirted the ends, was a superlative blocker and a stout defender. Albert Was Key Man of Stanford T" Albert was the genius and the mamuplator behind the T formation of Clark Shaughnessy.

Quarterback aspirants on the freshman squad have been Sergis Atverei of Bingham, Bob Bosch of Davis and Thud Yost.

But they do, the Aggie grid backfield should look pretty good. 1OSSIBLE LINEUP Hows this for a starting combination: Crookston or Silcock nt Quarterback, with a possibility that Allen would fit in at the post; Duncan and Twitchell at halfbacks, abetted by Melly Wood, Frosh Evan Sorenson and Big and Bus Williams; George Nelson at fullback.

At the other flank, John Rokisky of undefeated Duquesne won the nod on his all round capabilities.
