...been said frequently of late that that Casey isn't as yet a second Mahan. He isn't but the accents should be on the "as yet" rather than the "isn't" and dismissing the case of Natick's latest starring son in a short comparison to Natick Eddie of last season is hardly fair, for it doesn't give a fitting idea of the wonderful running, dodging and passing ability that Casey possesses. With an even break in luck, Casey should hand in more than a smattering of thrills Saturday...

Whether they will be able to smash or top it remains to be seen. It isn't likely the Crimson will produce anything elaborate on attack; it's difficult to see how she can. Cornell, judging from the Bucknell game, isn't as far along as she'd like to be, either. Trouble on the ends has stayed the forward rush of the eleven...
