...Redskins' scintillants, Cliff Battles, ace ballcarrier of the league and star of the Brooklyn game; Erny Pinckert, former So. California captain and halfback; Pug Rentner of Northwestern; Ted Wright of Texas Teachers, who led the nation in scoring two years ago; Turk Edwards, All-Professional tackle; Hank McPhail, 230-pound fullback from Army, and Big Ben Boswell, 245-pound tackle from Texas Christian, will make their first appearance of the year on the Fenway sward...

Once on the plateau at the top of the cliff Washburn and Carter decided to make a rush for the summit without waiting for the last rope which had fallen behind due to heavy packs of willow wands and miscellaneous supplies.
