Of these, Captain Owen played coverpoint, Baker played right wing, while Angier and Martin were substitute forwards. Besides these four, W. J. Banes '22, W. D. Burden '22, H. F. Colt '22, J. H. Dempsey '23, J. G. Flint '23, Mitchell Gratwick '22, R. R. Higgins '22, Joseph Larocque Jr. '23, and R. E. Smith '22 have had experience on the squad and will furnish material...
