Whether its adoption will draw to the field numbers of men who do not play even class football because of a lack of brawn is problematical. Many light men turn to track, crew, and other sports where they are at no disadvantage or special provision is made for them. Football has long been regarded as an oligarchy of the big boys; it may be doubtful whether enough candidates will report to fill out enough teams for a comprehensive schedule, but in their particular effort to attract more men to the game the proponents of the new plan...

Covel '29 worked well, with the latter on the receiving end. Robert Gilmor '31, who was the individual star of the game, made the third touchdown on a brilliant 35 yard run. T. H.
