...used at third or short. Cartmell is a first-class fielder but weak with the stick. The same is true of C. S. Reed '17 who held down the shortfield last year. T. H. Enwright '18 shows some promise but is as yet far from a finished player. F. G. Fripp '16 may be used at third although he is better in the outfield...
...times he had to abandon his protection in order to elude tacklers from behind. Rollins, too, easily overtook his interference. The interference does not seem to rush with that ferocious charge, which marked the Harvard interference of last year, and often on Saturday a Crimson player instead of plunging into the opposing tackler, would merely try to ward him off from the play. A noticeable exception was Harte, who was responsible for many a gain...
...Penn. State eleven has lost, through graduation, four men who were the particular stars of the 1914 game, but their places have been taken by men of equal ability. The halfback positions are filled by Yeager, a strong defensive back, and Berryman, the greatest all around player who has ever represented Penn. State.

Of the five men some had played at Quogue before; all get their information from Yale...
...made public, the attitude of Harvard students was refreshing. I have yet to hear a word of satisfaction either in the punishment of Yale teams. One and all the students have expressed their sympathy with their fellow-students of a rival college and their regret that such a player as LeGore, admired for his skill and respected for his personal qualities, should no longer match himself against Harvard men. With warm admiration for the Yale authorities in athletics, some of us yet believe that the reform of an evil, provided the evil is not a crime, begins best after clear...
