Bill Barnes and Don Forte occupy the end positions, and are capable pass receivers. Tom Rogstad, stolid iron-man, and John Ryan, who has turned in a good piece of work this week, will probably start at the tackles. Russ Stannard and Leland Sosman will be at the guard posts. Johnny Page, although light, sparks defensive manoeuvres at center...

...Paced by Iron-man Hall Wonson, the Green's ace distance runner, the Dartmouth contingent includes Lee Trudean, who took seventh place in last year's race; Williams, a sophomore who took first honors in the Freshman event last fall; Bull, who trailed Williams by a scant second; and Foss and Gibbons...
