...very encouraging, therefore, when this reorganized team beat the team which had admittedly outplayed Princeton. The chief weakness shown was poor handling of punts, but this may be attributed largely to the slippery condition of the ball. As a whole the team played with so much spirit and strength as to give every hope for a successful outcome today, especially when it is remembered that Felton and Potter will play...
...seasons has played in All-America form. By his playing in the Princeton and Dartmouth games he has shown that he has lost none of his ability, and his responsibilities as captain have not interfered with his playing. He covers much territory defensively and is a tower of strength on the offence...
Smith at left end has shown true All-American form throughout the season. He is a tower of strength both offensively and defensively, and is always down the field under kicks, rarely missing a tackle. Felton, right end, is valuable chiefly for his kicking ability.

The expected line-up is as follows: l.e., Smith, l.t., Hitchcock; l.g., Leslie; c., Parmenter; r.g., Fisher; r.t., Storer; r.e., Felton or O'Brien; q.b., Potter; l.h.b., Campbell; r.h.b., Wendell; f.b., Huntington...
