...from the backfield to end and did very well in his new position. He was down the field fast under kicks and usually got his man. When the second team had the ball he was used on the secondary defence. Goodale was back in his regular position at left guard and strengthened the left wing perceptibly.

Evidently, the prose in the number is alive with interest in matters of present concern within and without the College world...
...practice yesterday afternoon. The whole first squad was drilled in starting and in falling on the ball, special attention being paid to the ends by Coach Moore. This was succeeded by a long signal practice, in which Parmenter, a fullback, was tried in the line at left guard, and Cutler was moved from centre to right tackle...
