...Hodges play or no. Wagenhurst played end last year, but has developed into an excellent half-back, and will fill that position this year. Price, one of last year's half-backs, will continue to play there, while Ames, who scored both of the touchdowns against Harvard last year, will play back. The team in its present make-up is: Ames, '90, full-back; Wagenhurst and Price, '88, half-backs; Hancock, '88, quarter-back; Speer, '89, Church, '88. Cowan, '88, George, '89, Janeway, '90, Irvine, '88, and Bickham, '90, rushers. Hancock, Speer and Church were substitutes last year. while Janeway...

...more. Watkinson's play at half-back is sadly missed, and it is doubtful if those long low, wicked punts of his will ever be duplicated by any player. Morrison, who was one of last year's half-backs, kicks fairly well, but the ball goes too high in the air. Graves, the full back of last season's Andover eleven is playing half-back with Morrison at present. He is a stout, well built man and a tolerably fast runner. He is one of the best of the new men. Shaw, '90, is playing full back and gives promise...
