Captain Smith, of the visitors is known as a strong punter who averages nearly 50 yars on his kicks. The Harvard squad is not blessed with an extraordinarily powerful kicker, but Burns, who will handle the booting asignment this afternoon, is a capable punter. A. E. French '29 and T. G. Moore '29, two backs who are certain to get into the game, are the other kickers on the University gridiron squad...
...through which the hanks tore off long gains. Randall, Brown quarterback, was the outstanding player of the day. It was he who directed the magnificent opening charge of the Bear, who, with Mishel; successfully engineered the passing attack, and who carried the burden of competing with McGunigle, the Yale punter. All these duties the stocky quarterback performed in a workmanlike manner that stamped him as a dangerous menace to the teams yet remaining on the Brown schedule...
...Horton, veteran fullback, deprives Dartmouth of its captain, but Black, the sophomore back who will start, is rated as the best ball carrier the visitors have. The appointment of MacPhail as acting captain instead of the ex-captain-elect, Dooley, causes much speculation. As Black is Dartmouth's other punter it is thought that his substitution and McPhail's appointment may mean that Dooley, star kicker and passer, will be relegated to the sidelines. In this eventuality either Harris or MacPhail will call the signals, with McAvoy, rated as "brilliant" by Harvard scouts, going in at halfback...
Another disappointment in the first Crimson showing was in the kicking department. Neither Miller nor French were able to hold their own against the Geneva punter and the University lost Leavily on exchange of kicks. The tackling on the whole was better than that displayed in the early season games last year, although there was little enough of the deadly variety which stops a man in his tracks. Of the backs, Sayles alone appeared to be completely at home. The former wingman charges hard and runs, interference well. French, last year's Freshman captain, showed promise of developing into...
...second-string backfield yesterday found McGlone directing Chauncey, Barbee, and Howe, with Puffer relieving Chauncey when the drop-kicker went to team A. Barbee has not figured in many games this season, but last year's Freshman pitcher is an excellent passer and a fair punter, and has come along rapidly of late. It will not be surprising if he sees action against the Blue...
