With outdoor practices the backs have been able to develop the speed and hard, running with which they hope to surprise the Cantab ball-carriers. Lining up in the scrum-half position is scrappy Al Osgood who was on the Princeton team of last spring. Playing in the backfield for the first time, Osgood is working out well and is showing plenty of fight, together with a fast "dive pass" to his inside backs.
