Much scepticism is expressed in sports circles as to the authenticity of Coach Mal Stevens starting line-up as announced last night. The Blue mentor stated that he would start, Albie Booth, Yale's injured flash at quarterback with Harlan Ellis, Ned Austen and Don McLennan as running mates. Inasmuch as this backfield has virtually never been together, some have aired their doubts as to whether Stevens actually means to start it. The only possible alternative seems to be McLennan at quarter with Snead, Miller, and Dunn at the other posts...

...plan of starting Wood at quarter and Putnam at half and that the switch was for the better was seen at the very start when Putnam dashed off-tackle for a 22-yard run.

The Sophomore flash, injected in the game in the second quarter, led the Crimson in its drive for its first score, dashing and squirming through the Southerners in a manner similar to Marsters.
