...There are, undoubtedly, many cases where men, naturally extremely shy and retiring in nature, are developed into far more efficient workers by the contact of the training table. I know of one cases where the men at table made a special effort to bring out an extremely backward and awkward man, who afterward frankly spoke of the pleasure and benefit which he had gained there...
There is an equal dearth of good tackles. H. Inches '08, who played on the second team last fall, is awkward, but improved in spring practice, and should have a good chance at tackle or fullback. C.

Severance '09 are other tackle possibilities. K. F. Brill...

Currier puts lots of speed into his throws, and is improving in his direction. W. T. Reid, Jr., '01 assisted Coach Coburn in directing the practice...
...down the field, beating O'Brien nearly every time. Early in the game Fultz replaced Squires, who received an injury to his hand. Fultz played a reliable game and made good gains when he ran with the ball. Carr, who played in his first game as fullback, was somewhat awkward in running with the ball, but helped the other runners along well. Kersburg played a fast game at guard and stopped several plays by breaking through the line...
