...newly formed rush line averages less than 185 pounds and the backfield only 165 pounds, a remarkable shift from the heavyweight combination which began the season as Yale's first-string eleven. The second-string backfield has been transferred in a body and will probably begin the game. Its lack of weight is believed to be fully balanced by its speed and dodging qualities. Travis Smith, the new quarterback, has on two occasions this fall broken loose in an open field for runs of more than 70 yards and as a field general he has the call over the nine...
...tartar at Washington, for Catholic University found him for 11 hits and won, 11 to 8, but Harrison came back the next day and pitched Mitchell's men to a 12 to 3 score at the expense of Johns Hopkins. This victory was the first of an unbroken string of twelve, the charm being broken over a month later by Brown. The Columbia game, which if played would have cast great light on the question of the championship, was called off on account of rain. The net result of the trip was, therefore, three victories, one defeat...
...Dartmouth jinx was chased from Soldiers Field by a University victory in an 11 to 8 slugging-bee, an exhibition characterized by loose but exciting ball. Holy Cross was next shut out at Worcester, Mahan registering the 4 to 0 score, and also the last of the University's string of 12 straight victories. Garritt and Harrison were unable to hold Brown in check, and the Providence college had the pleasure of seeing an 8 to 1 atonement for the first game and for its defeat at home in 1915. Pitcher Young, of Williams, had two bad innings...
...fullback. With the loss of Barrett, comes a large gap to be filled in the form of a quarterback. Shock, last year's substitute for this position, will be lost by graduation, so that Speed and Hill who were used some in that position are the only second-string men left from last year's squad. Bretz, last year's 1919 quarterback, is a likely candidate for this position...
...injuries. Link and Chaplin, the only pitchers to be relied on to come out ahead, have done excellent work in all their games, but at the present time Chaplin is out with appendicitis. His absence has materially weakened the team's strength, as there are no good second-string pitchers to fall back upon. The infield has been considerably bolstered by the return of Shea who was forced out of the game early in the season by a sprained ankle...
