...Bruins still have a powerful sextet, however, led by veteran linemen Don Sennott and Bob Wheeler. Sophomore Bob Copp has filled in capably for star goalie Don Whiston, who graduated last year. The Bruins have split in Pentagonal League competition, winning one game and losing one, both to the Elis. Wes Moulton's men placed fourth in the Eastern collegiate hockey poll held Monday, behind B.C., B.U., and Yale...
There are only two ways to slow up the passing of an outstanding player like Kazmaier. One is to pour linemen in on him and not worry about the short receivers, on the theory that even Kazmaier cannot pitch too accurately when the back of his neck is in contact with the ground. The other way is to almost totally ignore Kaz and blanket his receivers, except on running plays. (This is where the optional running pass makes strong men weep...

This innovation of "line quarterbacking," according to Caldwell, insures efficient blocking for an opening, and counteracts any sudden defensive shift. And since the single-wing attack depends on the precision and effectiveness of two-on-one blocking, Princeton players are taught a bewildering variety, from...

Tiger frontmen could pull out of the line with sufficient skill to execute Coach Caldwell's complex maneuvers and when a Princeton back broke away he could always be sure of picking up blockers who would clean up the secondary. Harvard linemen haven't the speed to catch up with Clasby, and the sophomore tailback, however astutely he would a camper through the line or around an end, was sure to run ultimately into a mess of opposition secondary...
Kanter will also have the services of another group of big linemen, all well versed in Closed's quick opening style of play. Lanky tackle Luke Lockwood and two-way guard Dick Greek head up this group, which will provide Kanter's team with superb reserve strength. "Elky" Stone, a center, guard Jim Lawson, and the strong tackle duo of Mark Collins and Dick Bowditch round out, this contingent, which conceivably see action, enmasse, as a third line...
