This trio offers a fast running backfield of exceptional talent, including a strong line-plunger and clever defensive full-back, and two versatile, speedy half-backs, one of whom is undoubtedly the best all-around football man in the country. Drop-kicking, punting, forward passing, running with the ball and secondary defense would be taken care of by Berryman, King, and Mahan in a way which would be difficult to surpass...
