...equal importance will be the clash between A. H. Miller '27, the University's great speedster, Frank Hussey of Boston College, and George Daley of Holy Cross, in the 40 yard sprint. Hussey was the National A. A. U. champion two years ago, and last year ran a neck and neck race with Miller in the 70 yard dash. Daley is considered one of the fastest men to get off the mark...
...University will be without the services of Miller, fast heavyweight half-back, in Saturday's tilt with William and Mary. The big speedster hurt his leg in the third period of the Holy Cross game, while running back the kick-off after the first purple touchdown. The injury is not serious, but the coaches want to be sure that Miller will be in good condition for the Dartmouth battle a week from Saturday, and are planning to give the hurt leg plenty of chance to heal, without running the danger of a new injury...
Keefer last season was one of the most colorful backs in the East; playing without a headguard, his speed and clusiveness reminded many of Brown's greatest back, Follard. Mishel is another speedster, and is also a capable dropkicker. Of the other starting backs, Payer is experienced, heavy, and fast, while Jones, who has won the fullback berth has plenty of weight and played well in the last period of the Penn game...
Flashy work by Nordberg, lightweight speedster who only recently donned a red jersey, featured the scrimmage. The one University score came when Barbee crossed the line after the first team had carried the ball half the length of the field. McGlone, whose run put the Fisher forces in scoring position, drop-kicked the goal after touchdown...
...unfamiliar collection of names that he has on his regular line-up. There is no outstanding star end, like Miller, or backs such as Light, or Quigley, of last year's team, no all-around star like Berry, no speedster like Mercer and Minds, stars of recent years. If Heisman can build his attack around Strauss or Whitehill this year, and beat Dobie's Cornellians on Franklin Field late in November, he will be hailed as a wonder-worker by Penn alumni. Strauss will be remembered hereabouts as the man who ran wild against Dartmouth and virtually settled the outcome...
