Captain F. F. Hart '30, and C. W. Remick Jr. '30, played hard running games in the Sophomore backfield, and the kicking and line-plunging of C. E. Dunlap '30 at full back was also consistently good. In the first half the Seniors could not drive the Sophomores out of their territory, but the second-year team lacked scoring power...

...boil their enemies in brawn. Only two of the team that started against Army are stunted under six feet. Yale's pachyderms on the line average 192, behind the line 180.

Tripp, who has not started a University game since the Tiger encounter at Princeton two years ago, was at left guard in place of John Parkinson '29, while Mason replaced David Guarnaccia '29 in the Crimson backfield. Unless A. E. French '29 starts tomorrow's game at either quarter or halfback, the chances seem pretty good of Mason's facing the Hoosier eleven. The Sophomore, although very light, is one of the best punters on the squad and also a speedy runner. With G. E. Donaghy...
