Line Coach Adam Walsh has caught the attention of the public with his work in constructing a line which has held in check some of the most formidable teams in the country, but the same is not true of the pass defense of the backfield. If the Army opens up with its aerial attack in the game today, an indication will be given of the success of Coach Casey's intensive work in this department...
...curious situation about Lane is that he started his life on the Varsity as a tackle, and remained as such until after the third game of the season. Then Adam Walsh decided that there were plenty of tackles and not enough guards, so Mr. Lane moved inland...

Every man on the Crusader team had a sincere respect for the work Adam Walsh has done in building up a frontier that could stop dead the drive of a line that outweighed them by 60 pounds and contained All-America material. All this despite the fact that it was the line that was the coaches' chief worry when practice was just beginning. Right now the backfield's offensive work rests twice as heavily on Eddie Casey...
