...practice today consisted simply of a fast signal drill. Guernsey was given a short work-out at drop-kicking and performed consistently well. The coaches announced today that Allen would start the Harvard game at end-rush instead of Weidman, as the latter's injury will keep him out of the contest...
...driving attack from her Minnesota shift formation better qualified for midfield gains than for gains inside her opponent's thirty-five-yard line. Perhaps she can work up her off-tackle slashes so that they will carry farther than they did against Princeton, but if she can repeatedly get Guernsey anywhere from Harvard's forty-yard line on she may not need touchdowns in order to win.
