...Yale, Harvard looked nothing like the team which had muddled through an undistinguished season. It blocked neatly, booted superbly, tackled savagely, and let loose a phenomenal forward passing attack. One pass came early in the first period when ham-handed Halfback Danny Wells shot one 45 yd. to Chet Litman. Three plays later a short pass to Quarterback Bob Haley made the touchdown. In the next period Wells again sent a pass whistling 50 yd. Left End Freddy Crocker caught it, trotted across the Yale goal with nobody near him. It was after Yale had battered through a touchdown...
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...
...Schumann and Gundlach at the guard berths. Casey dominates the pivot situation and will have as a reserve Johnny Lockwood. With the exception of the return of Locke as an alternate on the first backfield, the secondary remains the same, with Haley at quarter, Wells at left half, Litman at right half, and Dean at fullback. Locke has been shifted back to the running back position after having his fling at the right half post. Wells, however, is practically certain of being called on to start the game. Definite announcement was made that Lane and Cheek will be unable...
Both scores were made possible by these latest additions to Team A. 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...
