With the loss of Dean, Wells, Kopans and many others of their calibre, including the entire center squad, Coach Casey faces a trying task next fall. In spite of all the losses the backfield will be perhaps the least hard hit by graduation. Locke, Litman, Lane, Haley et al, will be back in full force next year. But the line situation is much more troubling. Three first string tackles, Kopans, Francisco and Rogers will be gone. To fill their places Casey has Burton and those coming up from the Freshman eleven. Even the brilliant Jayvee tackles, who looked good enough...
Locke continued to alternate with Wells at the left half position but Wells is definitely set to start the game. His running mates in the first backfield will be Litman at right half, Haley at quarter and Dean at full...

Wells' pass to Cheek paved the way for Litman to go over the first touchdown, and Litman's and Wells' running propensities accounted for the second. It looked as if Coach Casey's radical late-season shift was good medicine and resorted shattered hopes for a clinching victory over Yale next Saturday. The new left side of the forward wall didn't quite come up to expectations and Kopans was called back in a hurry after he had given way to Burton, but the whole team was clicking...
