...fourth position leaves much room for argument. Obviously a line-plunger is needed in this speedy backfield. Neville, Horween, Thomas, and Jacques are the foremost possibilities. Horween proved last Saturday that his clambering type of line attack is a flat failure against a heavy team...
...diving with M. Blanchard '18, the amateur champion of New England. J. A. Machado '17, J. W. D. Seymour '17, and W. L. Monro '16, judging by their work in trials, should place well in the meet this afternoon. As A. Dixon '16, the University's first-string plunger, is ill, W. L. Monro '16 will be the University's only entry in the plunge for distance...
...broken field runner and punter. He came to the University from Middlesex School and if he continues to show the form he demonstrated as a first-year man he should do much toward making up for the less of Mahan.

Willcox has been used at quarterback, but on account of his consistent weakness in handling punts, he will probably be tried at halfback. Enwright, captain of the 1918 Freshman team...
...worth as substitutes in the backfield, and if A. Brown 1917 is eligible he will make a strong bid for a position here. He is considered by the coaches to have as much natural ability as any back on the squad. Thomas 1918 came up rapidly as a line-plunger late in the season, and if he continues to improve may make things interesting for some of the regulars...
