Except for Case, the 231 pound Holy Cross guard, the University players will outweigh their opponents to a man. For this reason the Purple rooters are basing their hopes for victory on a speedy, elusive group of rushers and a fast, aggressive line charge. The Holy Cross line averages from tackle to tackle only 185 pounds, but every man on it is quick, quicker probably than the average Crimson forward.

He is, perhaps, the steadiest man on the team and often makes seemingly impossible stops and pickups. Emmons, Conlon, and Lincoln are a fast and heavy-hitting infield trio, aild Hallock, Janin and Crocker have improved noticeably in the last games...
