...therefore had the entire team with the exception of the kicker lineup about ten yards behind the regular line and start before the ball, thus reaching the kicker about the time he was recovering his short kick. Their momentum would carry them into the defense with terrific force, either injuring the player in the way or gaining considerably more yardage than did the former wedge...
...rated as the best ball carrier the visitors have. The appointment of MacPhail as acting captain instead of the ex-captain-elect, Dooley, causes much speculation. As Black is Dartmouth's other punter it is thought that his substitution and McPhail's appointment may mean that Dooley, star kicker and passer, will be relegated to the sidelines.

Barbee has not figured in many games this season, but last year's Freshman pitcher is an excellent passer and a fair punter, and has come along rapidly of late. It will not be surprising if he sees action against the Blue...
