When the season opened Casey had three heavy, steady players in Dean, Nevin, and Barrett and he had light, fast players like Locke and Pescosolido, but he had no one in between these two groups to take Crickard's place. Lane weighs 171 pounds, ten more than Locke. Moseley weighs 163 pounds, nearly ten pounds more than "Pesky." Then, too, there are Allan Sherman and Dick Waters from the Class of 1934 and Cedric Janien and John Adzigian from last year's Freshmen...
Dean was always an influence for the best in there--not brilliant except in spots, but good--and he could kick (except against Dartmouth). A good blocker and needed with Nevin to pave the way for Crickard. But who will take Crickard's place if Dean and Nevin work together as they did last year? The solution seems to be that Nevin will carry more than before...
...first-string lineup and are showing the much-needed pepper. Moseley is doing some of the passing and most of the carrying. He can run and does run wild through the Jayvees, and we must fall back on the alibi of waiting for the first game. He looks like Crickard but lacks the drive--slippery but not as powerful--and should show up well in the first game. He looks like Crickard but lacks the drive--slippery but not as powerful--and should show up well in the first few games...
This squad is somewhat larger than usual, and contains a great many men of average or even slightly better than average ability, but it seems doubtful if the outfit includes candidates capable of filling the places vacated by Crickard, Hardy, and Hallowell, stars of the 1932 team. In the scrimmages held on the last three days Casey has concentrated on testing possibilities for No. 3 back (left halfback), left tackle, and center, the positions held respectively by Crickard, Hardy, and Hallowell last fall...
There is an unusually large field of fairly promising material to choose from, but it seems doubtful if a top-rank halfback can be found to take the place of Crickard, and, for that matter, it will be difficult to develop linemen capable of filling Hardy's and Hallowell's shoes...
