...football observer who can see hopeful prospects only in a galaxy of veteran stars, the Harvard backfield outlook for the coming season may not seem particularly bright. But to the believer in the infinite possibilitios of development, given a squad of fast, rugged backs as a starting point, the chances of seeing the Harvard attack restored to its former high prestige must appear unusually good...
...addition to the four quarter backs, Coach Arnold Horween '20 has ten backfield men at his disposal this year. All of them are fast, most of them are tough, the kind of backs which can stand a lot of hammering, and more than half of them are competent kickers as well as ball carriers. J. P. Crosby '28, A. E.

Parkinson was captain of the Groton School team three years ago and then played regularly on his Freshman team after coming to college. Last year he was shifted...
...caught the last coach of a ten-car train going fast enough to make a mile jump in two hours, Tully performed a feat that has never been equaled. Please ask Mr. Tully why he didn't stop to light a cigaret or write a letter home after being kicked off that train, before catching the last coach. If Jim Tully ever saw a circus train he would know that the last coach of every circus train that ever moved a mile out of the yards was the railroad caboose, not the last coach of the circus...
