Analysis shows that in each team the line is inferior to the backfield. Consequently as much will depend on the unknown ability of the forward defences to withstand the attacks of the truly brilliant backfields, as will depend on the known strength of these backfields.

Pennock is superior in every way to Conway and Walden of Yale, and Weston, the University guard. Experienced, powerful and aggressive, he has few equals at the guard position. The Yale guards, like the tackles have a tendency to play too high, otherwise they are far above the ordinary in ability. Weston is good, but there is a limit to his possibilities...
