More has probably been said this fall about the quarterback situation at Harvard than about any other feature of the University's gridiron prospect. And everywhere the story has been told with the same pessimistic shrug, the same forecast of impending disaster. For Harvard, be it known, has no quarter backs this year, and without a quarter back how can a team be expected to produce results...
...more the experts mull the matter over the more gloomy they become. They can see no way out, unless--and this has been darkly and secretly whispered in almost every gridiron circle this fall--Coach Arnold Horween '20 is going to develop a quarterbackless team. The assumption is that the team would be probably directed by some veteran lineman, while an experienced half back fulfilled the purely physical duties of the quarterback...
...hours of drill on fundamentals followed by a ten minute scrimmage between teams A and B was the work prescribed by Head Coach Arnold Horween '20 for his gridiron charges yesterday afternoon. At the conclusion of the workout Horween declined to announce even a tentative line-up for the Vermont game Saturday. The final decision as to several of Saturday's starting line-up still seems remote, with several ends battling on almost even terms, one guard position unsettled, and the center situation somewhat doubtful...
...Parkinson '29, and G. I. Shapiro '28 are at present Stewart's leading rivals. Despite the fact that he weighs only 170 pounds Parkinson is fast and has a knack of getting across the line of scrimmage which may win him a place among the University's first eleven gridiron representatives. Parkinson was captain of the Groton School team three years ago and then played regularly on his Freshman team after coming to college. Last year he was shifted to center where he was somewhat handicapped by his unfamiliarity with the position. Back at guard again Parkinson appears to have...
...addition to Simonds, Stewart, Parkinson, and Shapiro. Coaches Corney and Dunne have one other experienced guard at their disposal this fall, B. C. Tripp '28. Tripp's gridiron career since he entered college has been a series of ups and downs, and it is very difficult to predict anything about his possibilities this year. He played more or less regularly on the 1928 first year team and in his Sophomore year rose rapidly to University and first team standing. He started the 1925 game at Princeton in one of the guard positions, but in the shake up following the Crimson...
