With at least three players whom Crimson coach John Yovicsin calls "among the best in the East," the Bruins have perhaps the most unheralded collection of talent in the Ivy League. Quarterback Frank Finney is the league's leading passer (outshining even Cornell's Tom Skypeck last week) and a good runner as well. Don Warburton--captain, center, and linebacker--is Brown's mainstay on defense, and 205-1b. Paul Choquette, a fullback who combines a juggernaut charge with surprising speed, rounds out this deadly up-the-middle combination...
...Brown's backfield, which flanks stars like Finney and Choquette with two excellent halfbacks--John McTigue and Bob Carlin--has been rated the finest in the Ivy League by Yovicsin. It appears clearly to outclass the varsity's starting backfield, which for the first time this season includes three sophomores: Charlie Ravenel, Bruce MacIntyre, and Larry Repsher. On the strength of this advantage, the Bruins have to be conceded one-touchdown favorites...
Last year, Finney sliced yardage off the Crimson ends in great chunks with the pass option play and Choquette bore down relentlessly on the middle of the line in a 33-7 rout of an injury-riddled Crimson eleven. Today, injuries have not taken such a toll on the varsity, though halfback Tom Lawson has been sidelined with a week-old leg bruise. Linemen Jim Keating and Chuck Papalia both are bothered with stiff necks and will be used sparingly...

...most favorably with Princeton along the line of scrimmage, and there is some reason to hope that the varsity may be able to muster a fairly effective attack against the middle of the Princeton line. In addition, the Tigers have not seemed strong on pass defense (Brown's Frank Finney completed 15 out of 23 against them last week), and it's quite likely that Crimson quarterbacks Ravenel and Johanson will attempt to exploit this weakness...
