...right guard, the three prominent candidates are Brown, the left guard's younger brother, who has played on the Groton school eleven the past two years; Gaylord, the former Lawrenceville guard; and Young '01, who was on last year's scrub. It is in filling right tackle, ex-Captain Chamberlin's position, that the most difficulty is anticipated. Not only are the candidates for it players of little experience, but they have shown nothing more than mediocre skill. Consequently, some new main from the incoming class will probably be developed. This will not be the case on the ends, especially...

...season was certainly disheartening. During the summer Capt. Rodgers had been taken ill with typhoid fever and his continued weakness necessitated the appointment of a temporary captain in his stead. Benjamin, last year's halfback, accordingly took charge of the men.

There was a good deal of very raw material to work upon but no stars and no men who stood out in the beginning as well adapted for particular...
Yale's ends are probably the weakest positions on the line today, and can scarcely be compared with Cabot of Harvard or Cochran of Princeton. With Cadwalader at centre, Brown and Marshall the guards, and Rodgers and Chamberlin as tackles, the rest of the line should make a fair showing. Behind the line, quarterback is still in some doubt, but DeSaulles will probably play the position, McBride at fullback has made steady improvement throughout the season. His strong points are line bucking, interference and good (though at times unsteady) punting. The halfback positions are apparently as unsettled as they were...
...practice during the past week has been the best of the season in spite of the temporary loss of several of the most promising candidates. The men were drilled in stopping mass plays and the number of coachers present made it possible to give more attention to individual work. Chamberlin, last year's centre, has been placed at tackle and will probably be a fixture in that position. The ends are still weak points in the team, but Hazen and Slocovitch are gaining steadily. The most serious fault of the backs is the tendency to fumble, but this...
