...Thacher '18 is improving as a defensive player, but although he goes into the game hard and knows what he is trying to do, he is still uncertain in his playing. He is a fast back and uses his stick well, but fails to take advantage of all his openings. The exceptionally poor ice tended to slow him up as well as the rest of the squad and make real team play difficult...
Wilson prepared at Exeter and played on his freshman team at Princeton. He was a substitute on the university team during the 1915 season and Coach Rush made him a regular at the beginning of the practice this year. Although not a brilliant player nor one likely to be ranked among the stars, he is reliable and steady, and with another year's experience should develop into a consistently strong end. He is one of the five "P" men who will return to Princeton next fall and is the only Junior who won his letter who was a regular during...
Another heady player was D. Appleton '18, who relieved Thacher for a time. Playing on team B against team D after the regulars were through, he again and again took the puck down the Arena with clever stick work and good judgment, and finally was able to smash it into the goal. In this scrimmage H. M. Bliss '17, T. K. Fisher '17, R. J. H. Powel '18, R. Baldwin '17 and C. W. Timpson '18 also scored goals for team B and a long tally was made for their opponents by W. W. Rice '18 on a back-hand...
...star during his first year, disabled by an injury which threatened to become permanent during his second, and handicapped by absence from the University while serving in France, he returned this year to become one of the strong bulwarks of the line. Some men have been acclaimed as clever players; Wheeler has rather shown himself a great player, dependable, sure, giving the game all he could. He has been universally recognized as one of the greatest players of his position in the country, and promises in the next year to place himself beside those men whose fame in football...
Wheeler is put at right tackle because although it was not only his first year on the team but also on the squad, he was unquestionably the best individual player in the University line. He is called one of the best tackles recently developed by Coach Haughton and his work in forcing Yale to take eight downs to score their touchdown against the University is highly commended...
