...needed. Bob Bingham also has a slight injury, and Rex Hutchinson has just recovered from one. He has again reported but has been used only on the second eleven regularly this week. Hutchinson weighs nearly 200 pounds and a great deal has been expected of him as a plunging full-back, but he has proved slow and has missed his signals repeatedly, and is a long way from choice as permanent full-back. Instead of presenting an eleven with a giant rush line averaging in weight nearly two hundred pounds. Yale will have a much lighter team, the absence...
...definitely announced till Saturday morning, will be about as follows: Left end, Gates, 175 pounds; left tackle, Sheldon, 180; left guard, Captain Black, 200; centre, Vorys, 180; right guard, Durfee, 190; right tackle, Baldridge, 190; right end, Church, 165; quarterback, T. Smith, 160; left half-back, Neville, 170; right half-back, Waite, 165; full-back, Jacques...

The reappearance of Brown, last year's varsity tackle, was also hailed with joy by the coaches. He immediately took his old place in the line...
...from kick formation, Mahan lying back. Mahan threatened three things, two of which he could do well and one brilliantly--punt, forward pass and run. No eleven could be certain what was to happen, and Mahan made the most of the doubtful state of mind. Harvard's interference in the case of a run would pile the tackle all over himself, knock the end galley west and generally take care of the back who was coming up to relieve the two over-pressed defenders on the end of the line. The chances that the full-back has of making...
