This line-up omits all the members of last year's undefeated Freshman eleven, several of whom are generally considered to be ripe for regular intercollegiate service. When it is considered, however, that there are barely three weeks in which to put together a winning eleven, it can readily be seen that some time must of necessity be allowed the new men to assimilate the Horween system before they can be thrown into the front line of battle...
