...means the poor punter he has been considered for the past month, but he cannot punt as Butterworth does. Moreover, there is nobody on the Harvard team who can be relied upon to kick a goal from the field, while Butterworth is the most skillful drop kicker on any team today.

The full back is one of the weakest positions on the team and unless some good kicker appears on Norton's soon the sophomores will...
