...first scored one touchdown and a goal from the field by Sawin. After the line-up Coach Dibblee carefully drilled the backs in the formation of interference. With both Campbell and Hallowell out of the practice the work of the ends was poor. As the second did not rush the ball at any time, the rest of the line had no defensive work...

Barnard, who played at left guard in place of Boal, tried to rush with the ball, but with little success. Although one or two yards were sometimes gained on the play, it was in no sense effective.

Cunha, centre on last year's freshman team, is practically sure of that position on the 'varsity this fall, for McConnell has already proved too light for the big college games. H. Brown is looked upon to fill right guard in spite of his light weight and inexperience. Leary, who was tackle last year, is being tried in the position, but is also too light and will...
