...take Felton's place as a punter, there will be Hardwick, who, though not as sure nor as pretty a kicker as his team-mate, can punt on an average about as far. As for drop-kicking, Brickley is still in College. For line-plunging, where Wendell was so valuable, there is room for development. Hardwick and Brickley are both good men in a broken field and Bradlee shines on the defence, but none of them can compare with Wendell in line-tearing...
...making these changes in the rules the committee's aim is to more nearly equalize the attacking and defensive powers. During the past season it developed that if a team could not gain its ten yards in two downs it preferred to trust to the individual ability of a punter, rather than to risk losing the ball entirely.

Howe, though not physically a strong man, had been until the Princeton game, regarded as a superior general, a clever punter, and a valuable man in running back punts. Last Saturday his generalship was severely criticised and he muffed punts again and again. The timely development of Walter Camp, Jr., has relieved Howe from punting just as the development of Francis relieved him from placement kicking. But no one has been...
