...stationary scrimmage in which all plays were started from the 30-yard line, the whole Varsity team looked like a different outfit from the group the Jayvees mauled the day before. Francis Lane did a particularly good job; Dean, Nevin, and Casey were all on their toes. All the plays that will be used in the Eates game this Saturday were tried out, and Casey sent three full teams against the Jayvees during the afternoon's workout. On "A" team Lane was given a tryout as No. 3 back (left halfback) with Dean at No. 1 and Nevin...
Three other lettermen who will return in the spring, but who are absent from fall practice due to participation in fall sports are Charles J. Nevin '34, veteran catcher, Craig D. Woodruff Jr. '34, who plays shortstop, and John Ware '34 takes care of center field...
Casey's experiments have shown that there is good material on hand: to the veteran backfield group of Captain John Dean, Charley Nevin, and Arthur Barrett have been added Francis Lane, Allan Sherman, and Fred Moseley; Deeb Peter has been developed as a capable understudy to Danny Wells; and Shaun Kelly and Walter White have the makings of first-rate ends. Kelly, in particular, shows great promise. He is almost certain to be a starting end against Yale...
When the season opened Casey had three heavy, steady players in Dean, Nevin, and Barrett and he had light, fast players like Locke and Pescosolido, but he had no one in between these two groups to take Crickard's place. Lane weighs 171 pounds, ten more than Locke. Moseley weighs 163 pounds, nearly ten pounds more than "Pesky." Then, too, there are Allan Sherman and Dick Waters from the Class of 1934 and Cedric Janien and John Adzigian from last year's Freshmen...
Dean was always an influence for the best in there--not brilliant except in spots, but good--and he could kick (except against Dartmouth). A good blocker and needed with Nevin to pave the way for Crickard. But who will take Crickard's place if Dean and Nevin work together as they did last year? The solution seems to be that Nevin will carry more than before...
