In preparation for their tussle with the Dukes, Higgins and staff put the gridders through a stiff two-and-a-half-hour session last evening. Higgins and Al Michaels put the backs through lengthy pass and pass defense drills. Pass fense was especially stressed in anticipation of the Dukes very effecient air attack. Line Coach Joe Bedenk had his charges driving away at the "'sled," and then paired them off to practice shoulder blocking. The ends, under Earl Edwards, spent the majority of the session blocking, snagging parses, and working with the backs in aerial defense drills. Duquesne Coach. "Buff" Donelli is expected to bring about 33 players with him Saturday. A power in the East for three years, the Dukes were only moderately hit by the draft and graduation, and haVe accumulated quite a bevy of Western Pennsylvania high school stars. Unhampered by the freshman rule, Donelli has had his squad working for about a month. They should be in bet ter condition than the Lions, - who have been practicing less than 2 weeks. On the sidelines tonight still nursing an injury, was Johnny Wolosky, 195 pound , sophomore center. Wolosky tore a Cartilege in his leg in Saturday's scrim mage, and will probably miss the Duquesne tussle. Sam Carpenter, and Larry Joe, two of the most promising freshman backfield candidates, spent the evening on the sidelines with putted muscles that should mend in a few days.
