...work at once, the squad was put through a long drill which was run with the efficient organization that has characterized all Harlow practices. The importance of fundamentals was stressed with the greater part of the time being devoted to them. The squad was divided into separate groups of linemen, backs, and ends, which worked on their individual departments. A few of the heavier and faster linemen from the Freshman team were tried out in the backfield...

The field judge ruled...
...last week had been made by anyone else it would have been surprising. Since Kelley made it, it was nothing of the sort. Kelley performances in football are surprising only when they fail to be. Currently, Kelley is the most famed footballer of the year. This is extraordinary because linemen, even ends, are rarely well-known. The reason most linemen are obscure is that they seldom carry the ball, almost never get a chance to score. Kelley's touchdown against Harvard last week was his 13th in three years...
