"This year 19 )n-scholarship boys came out for ie team but only seven boys have uck it out. One of the boys could ave a shot at starting." With the first game still two ,eeks away, the "Battling Bid ies" are still involved in three Dur practices to determine the tarting squad. The main problem t this time is the positioning of layers. "Finding out where each boy tould play and distributing of ayers is our main problem right w," Ratteree said. We have lots 'fullbacks this year and only or fensive end. We are trying boy different positions -- making rmer backs into linemen." "With class just starting the ayers can't really concentrate on otball, anyway." The freshmen play a five-game hedule which will open Oct. 2 ,ainst Ratteree's old alma mater, e Citadel at home.
