Parker is very quick for a man of his weight, but has been kept out of several games this fall on account of injuries to his back and shoulder. Peirce plays a hard game but is inclined to be over-aggressive. Hear has been developed into a first-rate substitute for Parker's position.

He is extremely brilliant, but equally erratic. His best position is at the net, and his reach allows him to cover a great deal of court. When he is at the top of his game, he is a hard man to beat, and will rank among the best...
