Both guard positions are filled by men who played in other positions in past years. Captain Parker was transferred from centre, and W. Peirce was shifted over from tackle. Parker is very quick for a man of his weight, but has been kept out of several games this fall on account of injuries to his back and shoulder. Peirce plays a hard game but is inclined to be over-aggressive. Hear has been developed into a first-rate substitute for Parker's position. The other substitute guards are Brock, Gilmore and Forchheimer...

But the frequency and effervescent spirit of these spontaneous outbursts prove that they are not forced, but that underlying it all there is a real confidence in the team. We know that every man on the eleven will do all that lies in his power to justify this confidence, and we wish them the reward which they so richly deserve...
