Show backfield reserves, a 170-pound man, is listed as Buster Keaton. Coach Romney will send his charges through a dummy scrimmage scrim-mage against- Tiger plays Thursday, Thurs-day, and- will give them a rest Friday. The C. C. team, which arrives Friday morning will hold a light workout in the afternoon. Colorado College Team Uses Shifts Wide End Runs, Confusing- Backfield Shift in Repertoire of Tigers; Woodward Back in Suit Once More Perfection of a defense to stop the wide end sweeps of the Colorado Colo-rado College gridiron team took Ihe attention of the Brigham Young university Cougars this afternoon. The "Y" team plays the Tigers at Provo Saturday. Coach Ott Romney tried out some new plays against the freshman fresh-man team Tuesday afternoon, and both new and old plays clicked for yardage. The passing attack of the Cougars is showing improvement improve-ment each night, and is beginning to shape up as a really powerful offensive weapon against any kind of a defense. The starting .lineup of the "Y" club will be practically the same as the one which lined up against Greeley, State last Saturday, ex- cept that Reed Crane, reputed to be the best defensive end on the squad, will take the place of Charles Oaks, who was injured last week. Golden "Tarzan" TayT lor is also likely to start in the place of Vaughn Lloyd, who has a severe cold. The colorful Tarzan, who in his moments of recreation takes to wrestling, has shown a deal of improvement im-provement in practice and has been adept at defensive ball. A booming laugh that starts deep in a barrel chest is not reflected from his attitude in a ball game for "Tarz" isn't any too gentle about his tackling. Woodward Back The return of Jack Woodward to the lineup will add strength to the backfield, as Woodward's leg is practically well and his good passing arm will likely be used to an extent, in the game. He will interchange with Walter Lyons at quarterback and Paul McBeth at left halfback. McBeth suffered a bruised elbow Tuesday night when an energetic freshman tackled him about the head and spilled him with his arm doubled under, but he will be in shape for the battle and will likely start. Woodward will be game captain. Last year Jack was the hero of Brigham Young's 34 to 19 victory over Colorado College in that unusual un-usual contest in which the Tigers led 19 to 0 at the half. Then Jack "stole" .the ball from a Colorado end, flipping it out of his arm before be-fore the referee's whistle blew and running for a touchdown. That started the fireworks, and the Cougars Cou-gars came back to storm over with five touchdowns. Shifting Backfield Coach Bully Van de Graaf has doped out an offense that is unusual un-usual to watch. It is based on a backfield shift which sometimes goes into four different formations before the play starts. An effort to confuse the defense of the opponents, op-ponents, the shifts make a pretty spectacle from the stands and frequently fre-quently break into a single or double lateral pass that continues in a wide end run. One of the interesting sidelights will be the comparison between Jack Stringham, powerful Brigham Brig-ham Young fullback, and Andy Mihalick, 165-pound back of the Tigers, who is a great line plunger and defensive phenom, similar to Stringham. Other standouts on the Tiger team are Jim Riley, 180-pound end, and Wayne Neil, back, who was the eastern division quarter mile champion last year and can really get out and dash on the football field. The Cougars will outweigh the Tigers approximately 7 pounds per man. The "Y" team will scale about 180 and the Colorado-ans Colorado-ans around 173 pounds. The probable starting lineup of the visitors will include Ray Hess Wayne Neil, Andy Mihalick and Jack Samways, backs; Orville Trainer and Harold Haines, tackles; tack-les; Joe Biggs and Bud Alston, guards; Tim Dillingham and Captain Cap-tain Henry Preskar, ends; and Paul Simpson, center.
