This is the first year that a fall competition for this position has ever been held, the system heretofore having been to hold the competition in the spring, necessitating continuing it over the summer until fall.

...Before the squad reported three weeks ago it was known that Walter McGrath, guard, and Kirkpatrick, tackle, were almost certain to be ineligible this fall because of faculty restrictions, but the withdrawal from the squad of ten players since practice began has been unexpected. Callahan and Kelly, centres; Zenner, guard; Rosener, end; Van Nostrand, quarterback; LeGore, Bingham, Hutchinson and Braden, half-backs, and Robinson, quarterback, may all be out of the opening game of the season tomorrow, and it is probable that Kelly and Braden, perhaps the most experienced members of the squad, with the exception of LeGore, have left...

Carter, who has been playing right guard for two weeks, is out of the game with an injury and Galt, Zenner and Durfee are to be tried at the position. Howard Baldridge has been used at right tackle daily this fall...
