...stand a lot of hammering, and more than half of them are competent kickers as well as ball carriers. J. P. Crosby '28, A. E. French '29, and David Guarnaccia '29 are the only members of this backfield squad who have had previous University experience, but, in the opinion of this writer at least, they will find themselves hard pressed to hold down their positions by some of the new backs.

...fact that the Employment Bureau was reorganized on a larger scale a few years ago seems to indicate that the University was of the opinion that working students were not undesirables, but were, in fact, assets. The new system under a new head promised more and better opportunities for a greater number of students. Finding a job, at best a hard task, was to be made easier, and the annual reports of the Secretary for Student Employment--if figures are to be taken as trustworthy--have shown that the Bureau has rendered valuable service...
