...expected. There was punch lacking, and at times the defense was dangerously impotent. Something was lacking in the team as a whole, not in its individual members. Moreover, Bradlee showed himself almost indispensable by the phenomenal brilliancy of his offensive playing. This, together with Cowen's weakness at guard, Storer's superiority as a tackle rather than an end, Gilman's adaptability, and Hardwick's experience at the wing position, are the reasons for the shift. Today's contest, the first real try- out of the new order, will spell its success or failure...

...from Groton and Andover. The team has had a hard week of practice including two long scrimmages with the second Freshman, and one with the second University team. There have been no serious injuries, but several changes in the line-up have taken place. Leighton will start at right guard instead of Duncan; Cabot will take Caner's place at right tackle; Clark will start at end instead of Coolidge, and Douglas will fill the place of Ames as fullback...
