...tough job to fill Mendel's shoes but in the Tech game he turned in a capable performance, scoring one of the two goals. Willetts, Staber, and Halstead are in need of more experience. The combination of the Mendel and Murphy should prove potent when Howie gets back into the game...
...symbol at the expense of the man himself. Great eulogies and great debunkings have been poured over his faded memory, rearing him into some abstract, semi-divine legend. In the play, "Abo Lincoln in Illinois," two men--Robert Sherwood, playwright, and Raymond Massey, actor--have striven to bring him back to life...

Little Ted Arico is the nearest thing to a climax runner that the Indians can offer, but he is too light for much service. But Hayden is a competent back, and Harvard has good reason to remember his running mate, Bill Hutchinson.

Nissen and Kelley are the other wing operatives...
