...slogan. The special songs which are gotten up for the different games are all right, but it seems a pity that we have no slogan which can be used at any and all games. With a view to stimulating some one to produce a slogan which is really good, I venture to suggest...
...ends have covered their positions in excellent form throughout the season. Their fault is that they do not help the runners enough on the offensive. For substitute end, Richardson has been doing good work. In spite of his light weight he seems to break up or sift through interference and is always at the right spot. Bull has been showing up well as an end, tackling fiercely and running hard and well, though showing greenness and tackling too high. Graydon tackles well but is nursing an injury, and Lewis, though first-rate on following the ball, often overruns...
...tackle Donald has done as good work as his condition permits. He is heady, reliable, and a decidedly good tackle. Swain, though the lightest candidate, has shown good quality of work throughout the year. He is aggressive, tackles hard and accurately and runs fairly well with the ball. Wheeler is gaining all the time. He puts up a fierce game and would be invaluable but for his tendency to get offside. He also uses his arms too freely in blocking. Mills, who has the capacity of making one of the best football players in college, mars his brilliant work...

Of the '96 eleven only Rodgers, Benjamin, Chadwick, Chamberlin, Conner and Hine returned this fall, and it was thought that only four of these men would be able to play.

The problem then was to develop a team and by constantly changing its make up to weed out the best men and settle...
...Rodgers and Chamberlin as tackles, the rest of the line should make a fair showing. Behind the line, quarterback is still in some doubt, but DeSaulles will probably play the position, McBride at fullback has made steady improvement throughout the season. His strong points are line bucking, interference and good (though at times unsteady) punting. The halfback positions are apparently as unsettled as they were a week ago. Benjamin, Corwin, Kiefer, Dudley, Marvin and Shattuck have all been played during the past week...
