...behind his own goal-line and under the impression that he has made an error, throws the ball across the line back into play. 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...
...players who came into prominence this season will be eligible next fall. The greatest blow to the team will be the loss of Captain Andrews at halfback, who all through the season has proved a capable leader. In addition to his work in the backfield, Andrews was the best punter on the team. He was also a drop kicker of some ability, his field goal being the only score in the Brown-Yale game and enabling the Providence team to capture a 3-0 victory. The other backfield man to go is Saxton. Although this was his first year...

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...
...forward line, then, seems to be fairly well cared for. To develop a backfield equal to Captain Mahan's will be somewhat more of a task. If the new material produces a strong running combination, a punter who can rival Mahan is yet to be found. Horween, Enwright and Robinson are good punters; and Robinson is also an excellent drop-kicker; but none of them have the power of the 1915 captain
