...Davidson undergraduates refer to their football team as the "Wildcats," and they proudly point to the fact that the eleven lives up to this name. Johnny Wood, who scouted down in North Carolina last Saturday for the Crimson Varsity, agrees that the Southerners are certainly a scrappy looking bunch and he has warned Harlow to prepare for a real battle...
...Dixon line for the Stadium invasion is hard to say, since they have no opponents in common with Harvard. By the few roundabout comparisons that can be made, they appear to be definitely weaker than the Crimson, but equally definitely not the set-up Virginia was last year. Davidson lost to V.M.I. 0-7, and the Army beat V.M.I. 20-7 without looking very superior at any time.

...Wildcats" boast a triple threat, one "Teeny" Lafferdy. "Teeny" romped for 1108 yards against Davidson opponents last year, and would probably be heading for an equally high score again this season if he hadn't been injured in the Duke game on October 2.

Boston, Oakes, Pope, and Foley ran signals with the first backfield, but there will probably be some more shifting done back of the scrimmage line during the week...
