...running and passing plays was given out in yesterday's session. In a dummy scrimmage the team B line opposed the team A line behind which two sets of backs worked alternately, using the new plays. For the passes, T. W. Gilligan '31, A. E. French '29, David Guarnaccia '29, and W. R. Harper '30 worked as the first combination.

Putnam '30 took over the direction of the eleven...

Harper '30 carried the ball over for the first score while David Guarnaccia '29 accounted for the second. Putnam's first try for the extra point was good but his second fell short...
...Guarnaccia has been a most dependable performer ever since he was unearthed from among the obscure ranks of the seconds during his Sophomore year. His speed combined with his exceptional stamina and considerable weight have made him most valuable as a line plunger and a defensive back. He is much the same type of player as Harper whose resounding tackles and smashing line bucks were among the high lights of last year's games. It is remarkable too that neither Harper nor Guarnaccia were ever heard of as football players until their Sophomore year in college...
