...snapping back was very poor; on the direct passes the runners would pick the ball out of the air on one side or the other, and twice the Yale punter had to reach and take the ball with one hand. Inaccurate passing of the sort against a sharp defence may get the Elis into trouble. The tendency of most of the Yale backs was to run high and they did not use the straight arm at all. Braden was one exception. He ran low with terrific power both in carrying the ball and in interference. The power of the Yale...
...Virginia, which battles Yale and Harvard, is without Mayor, one of the greatest backs in the country last year, and may not have Thurman, its wonderful punter, to rely on. He best Yale last year by his exceptional booting and kept Harvard from crossing the Virginia goal line. Thurman, who has been fighting for the Allies in France, is trying to get his release, and may be able to face Harvard, although it is a certainty that he could not get in trim to play against Yale. Otherwise, Virginia shapes up pretty well. P. R. Evans, an alumnus, is coaching...
...something they had lacked since 1899, a dependable ground-gaining system.

In Driggs he has a punter good for any distance up to sixty yards, and a man who showed late last season that he knows how to turn the ends. In Tibbott he has a dangerous open field-runner and an expert drop-kicker. In Moore he has a fast, elusive back. We shall see Princeton...

A ruling will also be asked as to whether a fair catch is complete when the receiver falls after catching the ball, and if a punter becomes a would-be tackler after he has both feet on the ground or not until he has taken one or two steps...
Flower was the backfield star of the Freshman team, showing marked ability and possibilities as a 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. He weighs 171 pounds. Bond was the line plunger and defensive back of the Freshmen during the season just passed. He hails from Everett High School where as a schoolboy player he made a great reputation. Since the University he has put on weight...
