...most startling shift involved Putnam, veteran quarterback. In yesterday afternoon's long scrimmage and signal drill, the regular field general was given a try at left halfback. This shakeup seems to have been caused by the failure of Gilligan, who has started all games in this berth, to show any marked improvement. Putnam has exhibited a fine brand of running this season but it does not seem likely that his shift will be permanent.

Just before swooning the plucky Cadet signal-caller is alleged to have said "Leave us sit down a minute, Tommy." We will not go bail for its absolute authenticity, but it is a nice little addition to the saga...
