...left end, I have chosen Robert (Bob) Bennett, of Michigan. Here was a leader whose work throughout the season marked him as the most agile and at the same time the most aesthetic conductor of cheering in the country. Fast down the field and sure in his handling of grunts, Bennett at the same time combined a certain finesse of gesture with a lightness of touch that rivaled even Nijinsky, the famous Russian cheer leader.

Gates prepared at Hotchkiss, where he was a regular tackle on the team. In his freshmen year at Yale he also played tackle and for the last two years he has held down that position on the university team. His playing all fall has led to his being chosen by most of the football critics as tackle on the all-Eastern elevene. His brilliant tackling and following of the ball was a feature, in the games with Princeton and the University, and his recovery of Legore's fumble in the latter game was directly responsible for the Yale touchdown.
