...work, and the whole squad, with the exception of Potter and Felton, appeared in the best of condition and eager for tomorrow's contest. Potter has been given very light work all week but it is expected that he will be in condition to start at the quarterback position. In case he is not able to lead the team, Gardner, who has been out of the game for nearly a month, will go in as field general. Although handicapped by this absence, Gardner has had a year's experience on the University team and should prove somewhat better than either...
...particularly good, especially that of Smith, who did whirlwind work in getting down the field under punts and in catching Potter's passes. At tackle Gardiner and Hitchcock time and again caught the Brown runners from behind, while Fisher repeated his impregnable defence of the right guard position. At quarterback Potter ran the team without a fault and his punts easily outdistanced those of his opponent, Sprackling. As a field general there appeared little choice between the two. Both took many chances, Potter making four forward passes and Sprackling six, and each was successful in half the attempts. Both quarterbacks...
...individual players, Sprackling is playing in the same form which won for him last year the All-American quarterback position. Much of the team's success must be attributed to his superior playing. The eleven is, however, by no means a one-man organization. Ashbaugh at end has few, if any peers in that position, and Adams is a capable running mate. Bean, Crowther, Marble, Tenney, Jones, and Snell are all first calibre men in the backfield, and with any combination, form an effective ground-gaining machine. The line has received special coaching, and has shown steady improvement. There...
Campbell was back in the University line-up, and with Wendell and Huntington formed the regular backfield. It seems probable that this will be the combination for the Brown game tomorrow. Storer was back at work at centre and Gardner was in his place at quarterback on the substitutes for the first time in scrimmage since his injury in the Bates game. Felton and Potter tried out their punting ability to good advantage the former getting off some spirals that averaged 45 yards...
...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 for him; but with the exception of Captain Fisher the line seems weaker than at Yale. The majority of the men are new, however...
