When the next to the last game of the season came, a week ago, an entirely new combination was forced to go in against Dartmouth. The team was without the services of its two best tackles, two of its best quarterbacks, and its best kicker. Within two weeks the line had suffered a radical shift, and just before the game Huntington had been drawn in to centre from fullback. It was very encouraging, therefore, when this reorganized team beat the team which had admittedly outplayed Princeton.

The men are all fast and powerful runners, hit the line with terrific force, and, when once started are hard to stop. Coy is a remarkable kicker, as he can punt, drop-kick and kick from placement equally well...
