...combination which is at present given the team A rating is composed of Captain A. L. French '29, David Guarnaccia '29, and W. J. Harper '30. All three of these men saw action in the majority of last year's games and a good part of what success the 1927 eleven had was due to their offensive and defensive powers. French came to Harvard with the reputation of having been one of the best ball carriers in the school boy ranks as the leader of a strong Worcester eleven. He captained his first year team and stood...
...well qualified as this combination seems to be, it is little if any superior to the present team B backfield, T. F. Mason '30, S. L. Batchelder '31, and J. W. Potter '30. The possibility of Coach Horween's using these two sets of backs interchangeably seems to be strong. Such systems have been tried and often found successful, as for example in Yale's championship 1922 aggregation which employed as a rule one set of backs for each half. Mason and Potter both saw a good deal of action in the 1927 season, while Batchelder starred for the undefeated...
...rest of the backfield squad is made up of F. S. Grant Jr. '29, G. L. Graves '31, A. W. Huguley '31, G. C. Holbrook '30, and T. G. Moore '29, all capable and mostly experienced material Graves has been doing particularly well so far this fall. He is a short stocky back with plenty of speed and fight, the type that makes a yard or so after he has been hit from all sides. He needs experience but otherwise should make trouble for opposing linemen this fall. Holbrook was among the most promising of last year's new material...
...several years there was very little doubt about who would win the National Singles Championship at Forest Hills, L. I. Tilden would swing lazily through the first rounds; in the third and fourth rounds it became easier to see that he would win the last. In late afternoon matches his huge shadow would creep and flicker toward the clubhouse. By the time his opponent's shadow was in the middle of the press marquee, Tilden's shadow had gone upstairs. It was a terrifying shadow, with steps like dark lightning, enough to frighten any opponent...
...voice now crosses the Atlantic eastward by radio from Rocky Pt., L. I. (or Deal, N. J.); is received at the radio station at Cupar, Scotland; then goes by wire to London; from there to any of the "opened" cities and countries of Europe. Westward from Europe, the answering voice is sent by radio from Rugby, England; received in Houlton, Maine (or Netcong, N. J.), then goes by wire to Manhattan; from there anywhere in the U. S. or Canada...
