...mainstay of the dashes will be E. A. Teschner '17, who was very successful last year. J. R. Foley '15 and B. Z. Nelson '15 in the 100, and W. Wilcox, Jr., '17 and R. Tower '15 in the 220, are nevertheless good performers. W. A. Meanix '17 has shown much ability as a hurdler. He will be supported by H. St.J. Smith...
Cornell will be Yale's mainstay in the sprints, with Treadway, captain of the 1917 freshman team as second man. Cornell won both short dashes in the Princeton meet last spring, and took second in both in the Harvard meet. Wilkie, the star quarter-miler, will be first choice for that event again. Davis has also shown up well at this distance. Yale is seriously handicapped in the half-mile event, for Brown, captain of the 1914 team and one of the best collegiate half-milers, has been operated upon for appendicitis, and it is doubtful whether...
...every way. His fast, fierce rushed Saturday permitted him to gain almost at will, he was on the passing or receiving end of nearly all of the complicated passes, his punting far excelled that of either of his rivals and as a secondary defensive man he was the mainstay of the backfield. He was the pivot on which Yale built her attack, and the other backs were only slightly inferior to his standard of play. Wilson, Ainsworth, Knowles, Scovil, Guernsey and Cornell all contributed strength to the power of the offensive machine which proved to be of such high calibre...
...being strong, fast and powerful, with individual stars aiding it particularly. Hughitt, at quarter, was the best man who had ever filled this position in the football history of Michigan. Galt, Catlett, Splawn and Maulbetsch were struggling for positions in a backfield combination which was to be the mainstay of the eleven's chances. Splawn showed decided ability in drop-kicking; Galt and Catlett were fast and clever dodgers; Maulbetsch's line plunging was a revelation, and Hughitt had the judgment and ability to handle the most capable backfield...
...more prestige for her than twenty western victories, and Coach Yost is exerting every effort to attain that prestige. He has been building up what may be termed a "smashing machine." For the Harvard game he plans an alternating policy. The forward pass will be used extensively, but the mainstay of the attack will consist of the old, straight line-plunging methods such as won for the University the game with Washington and Jefferson two weeks ago and the Tufts game a week ago. The loss of Hughitt and Galt is of course irreparable, and what is worse there...
