...picking out and developing a quarterback, Coach Haughton had an even more difficult task. The material was very limited, and in a short time was sifted down to three men, Browne, Cutler and Galatti. But Browne was too valuable a man at end, and after a short time went back to the line. Cutler is an example of what can be accomplished by careful coaching and consistent work. He has improved with every game, become a safer man in the backfield, and has been depended upon for the greater part of the punting since Burr was injured. Last Saturday...
...Corey '11, quarterback, has been showing improvement steadily in his ability to run the team. He has a very level head, starts the plays in good shape and his passing is excellent. He is a very sure man in catching punts but is some-what slow in running them back...

The game will be over by four o'clock Saturday afternoon and it is reasonable to assume that men can get back in time to attend their lectures and recitations on Monday. No mention is made of cutting on Saturday, wisely enough. It might be mentioned here, however, that while cuts on Saturday morning by men going to New Haven are not officially excused, they are generally charged up to profit...
