James Elmer Barrett, of Leominster, was elected Second Marshal of the class. A graduate of Worcester Academy, he was a letterman on the football team for three years, and captain this fall, leading Harvard to its second victory in the last two seasons...
...fall he has, furthermore, exhibited a stylish brand of running, which, when coupled with his much-improved ability to handle forward and lateral passes and to drop kick, makes him a threat to be reckoned with. He fits neatly into the Harvard attack. Harper is another tried and true letterman, whose line-plunging is well-known to those who saw him in action last fall. As a defensive player he ranks high. Huguley too won his spurs in the 1928 season. To him will fall the punting assignment on the "first string" backfield. Rumors current around the Soldiers Field Locker...
...large majority of last year's veterans have been placed together on the team which has been under the direction of E. T. Putnam '29, experienced pilot of last season. In the backfield are S. L. Batchelder '31, valuable auxiliary back of last year, A. W. Huguley '31, letterman and stellar defenseman, and W. R.

Gilligan '31, on the strength of his showing in the Columbia game, when he made a home run to score the only Crimson run in a 1 to 1 deadlock, will...
...replace Barbee, Rarper, and Green, of last year's five. Several men from the football squad, who were expected, have failed to turn up, so that there is an unusual amount of inexperienced material in tonight's contest. Captain O'Connell and Wenner are the veterans, the former a letterman and a senior while the latter, a junior, was a regniar at times during last season but failed to hold the position. Coach E.A. Wachter was expected to choose M.E. Pierce '31 for center but has selected Upton, a second squad football player this past fall and a player...
