...still possible that this season's linemen will hit as hard as the 1949 line did. Ted Schmitt and Joe Maras, in charge of linemen and ends respectively, are highly capable coaches and they have been concentrating on drilling their men in the fundamental techniques of blocking and tackling. Harvard's will be a well-drilled line, but many of the players have had little--and, in some cases, no--previous varsity experience...
Coach Lou Little sent the forward wall through a rugged workout and the play of the linemen was crisp all afternoon. Ends Don McLean and Wes Bomm consistently outran the secondary to snare passes from Price. Later, last year's field general, Kermit Tracy, took over the passing. Al and Leo Ward also saw action at the end positions, and Al Ward spent some time sharpening up his kicking. He booted six consecutive points after the touchdowns in the Hobart game...
Offensive and defensive players were gradually interchanged so that almost all the backs and ends worked on both units. The first string defense, which did not include linemen, had Dike Hyde and Stan Brition, ends; Tom Ossman and Paul O'Brien, backers-up; Hardy Cox and Dusty Burke, halfbacks; and Warren Wylie, safety man. Then George Emmons and Hank Rate went in as ends; Buddy Lemay replaced O'Brien, Bob Ray took over for Burke, Jerry Blitz for Cox, and Dick Duback for Wylie...
...green's left end on defense was Donald Myers, and Holy Cross gained considerable yardage around his flank. He seemed to be quite susceptible to the deceptive ball-handling of Charles Maloy, the Crusader quarterback (as were most of the Dartmouth linemen at one point or another), and was often drawn well out of position...
...Yale linemen, strong on the flanks, consistently outcharged their heavier opponents (the average weight of the Yale line is 187 the Brown line, 201). Defensively, all the Bruin strength lay in the right side of the line. Guard John Chernak, great tackle, team captain Lloyd Hill, and 220-pound end Frank Powers held up so well that Pastazuk, throwing passes, kept all his backfield protection to his left. He was seldom harried from the unprotected right side...
