New head coach Red Conkright said he planned to institute a “Speed-T” or “Running Gun” offense similar to the Shotgun instituted by the 49ers last season, but would instead have the quarterback lineup only three-and-a-half yards back instead of the Shotgun’s seven to facilitate better use of the running game.

Wayne Hawkins was reinstated at the starting left guard spot ahead of Dan Ficca. The team also planned to use Clem Daniels at fullback ahead of Alan Miller.

Left tackle Charles Brown was listed as doubtful for tomorrow’s game against the Bills. To compensate the coaching staff planned to move tackle Jack Stone from the right to the left side and put Pete Nicklas in at right tackle.
