Bruce Wilson and Buck Sheridan, the ends, are not up to the standard of last year's Captain Bowie Stanley. Dick Schmon, who would ordinarily start in place of Sheridan (a Sophomore), is hurt. While Jim Howley recovers from a splintered hand, Pen Drinker a Sophomore is filling in at tackle along with Bill Morris. They are fairly good but wouldn't make graceful ballet-dancers...
