...quintet faces a stiff schedule this winter when it squares off against Columbia, Army, Brown, Dartmouth, and Yale. D. J. O'Connell '29, captain of last year's five, will be the sole loss through graduation and Coach Wachter will have a considerable nucleus of veterans with which to work. G. H. Pattison, Jr. '32 and W. S. Baskerville '32, regulars of last winter's Freshman five, have already started practice and are expected to bolster up the University squad...

It is not yet decided whether Hodges or Floathe will run as seventh man; since his injury early in the season, the former has not been able to reach his best form: which of the two will...
Harvard's scoring has been done for the most part by J. F. Schereschewsky '32, a powerful carrier, who even when tackled throws his body forward and gains several more yards. In the line, Captain R. H. Johnson '31 has proved himself a steady, dependable man at tackle...
