...line will suffer the most, the three centre positions being the only ones satisfactorily provided for. The effect which the new playing rules will have upon the kind of players needed can only be learned by an actual scrimmage, the spring practice giving no cue to the real differences in the game. Although it is true that speed and agility will be essential, nevertheless weight, especially in the line cannot be sacrificed to those ends. It is probable that weight will be even more necessary than under the old rules, since the rush line defense has been weakened...
There is an equal dearth of good tackles. H. Inches '08, who played on the second team last fall, is awkward, but improved in spring practice, and should have a good chance at tackle or fullback. C. G. Osborne '07, who was away from College last year on account of illness, has the build for a good tackle, and H. M. Gilmore '08, who played on the second team last year, has the necessary weight and strength. C. C. Pell '08, H. Sibley '07, H. C. Blanchard '09, and W. R. Severance '09 are other tackle possibilities. K. F. Brill...
...fairly well provided for, as A. G. Grant '07, in the pole-vault, B. T. Stephenson '08 and W. A. Hanley '07 in the shot put, and G. E. Roosevelt '09 in the high jump, have all won points this year and can be counted on for next spring...
...mile run should prove a strong event for the team, as Captain W. Minot '07 has proved a fast man and will have the benefit of his experience in the dual and intercollegiate meets this spring. In addition, S. T. Hubbard, Jr., '07, R. P. Boyer '07, H. F. Hadden '09, and H. F. Miller sS., who was unable to compete this year, will make a strong squad to pick from. In the two-mile run M. H. Stone '07 and M. S. Crosby '08 were both point-winners, and should be next year. With W. G. Howard...
Fall practice for most of the squad will commence early in October. It is probable that the same scheme of work in the spring will be applied as this year. The men will be called out directly after the mid-year examination period and will be gradually weeded out until the departure for New London. Any men who show up especially well in the class or club crews will be tried on the University squad...
