...strengthening the offence. Two of last year's team, N. Wheeler and T. H. Cornell, are available for the position of quarterback. D. Markle and H. A. Pumpelly are the only two backs who have had experience in the final games of last season. Of these, Pumpelly, is a drop-kicker and line plunger of ability...
...understudy. Captain Ketcham would in that case be shifted to end. In the backfield Wilson, quarterback of the 1916 freshman eleven, has distance both Wheeler and Gornish in competition for the quarterback position. The backfield has been further strengthened by Guernsey, a powerful line-plunger; Knowles, a promising drop and place-kicker; and C. Taylor.

As for drop-kicking, Brickley is still in College. For line-plunging, where Wendell was so valuable, there is room for development.

Besides dormitories, Harvard is equipped with the Union which offers every opportunity to working students to drop now and then into congenial company. With professor Cavanaugh we ridicule the idea of a great social barrier; the proof of its non-existence is everywhere at hand. And so we believe that the social life of the working students at Harvard need not suffer to an alarming degree...
