...Valpey knows the single wing thoroughly, so why should he switch to the T? When Harvard scored two touchdowns against Army--and gained more points than any other Army opponent this season, incidentally--it was not the excellence of the players that did it. Harvard had but two first-string men on the field during these drives; the rest were substitutes.

Isenberg is probably the first defensive specialist to be elected captain...
...Gold Coasters ran out of steam and three first string players at the end of the season, but still have a powerful ground attack paced by co-captain Rog Davis...

These were the days when men still dropkicked, and field goals counted four points instead of three...
