...last year's team, N. Wheeler and T. H. Cornell, are available for the position of quarterback. D. Markle and H. A. Pumpelly are the only two backs who have had experience in the final games of last season. Of these, Pumpelly, is a drop-kicker and line plunger of ability...
...another good substitute, as an understudy. Captain Ketcham would in that case be shifted to end. In the backfield Wilson, quarterback of the 1916 freshman eleven, has distance both Wheeler and Gornish in competition for the quarterback position. The backfield has been further strengthened by Guernsey, a powerful line-plunger; Knowles, a promising drop and place-kicker; and C. Taylor. With this array of good material the coaches are confident, and the competition is exceedingly hard and keen...
...Captain Wendell, Bradlee, Bradley, Brickley, Freedley, H. Frothingham, Gardner, Gibson, Graustein, H. Hardwick, T. Hardwick, Logan, Spang, and Willetts. And of these men, the ones who were placed on what seemed to be the team of first choices were Captain Wendell, whose ability is already known as a line plunger and defensive back, Brickley, captain of last year's Freshman team and a clever drop-kicker as well as runner, Bradlee, of last year's Freshman, Gardner, twice quarterback on University teams, and H. Hardwick, halfback for the 1915 team who is being tried out for quarter by the coaches...

He carries his charge further and shows a greater ability to keep his feet than anyone else in the game today. Equally as good on the defensive as on the offensive, he can generally be relied upon for a good gain when it is most needed
...Williams game Harvard for the first time this season showed a backfield which seemed to be better balanced than either the Yale or Princeton combinations. Wendell who is a certainty at half-back is unequalled as a line plunger, and with him, as all around backs, may be found at the end of the season almost any two of five or six men. Potter, while not up to Howe of Yale, as a quarterback, is a dependable man. Smith at end is better than any one Yale or Princeton can show, and Felton or Howard will make a satisfactory runningmate...
