Bowdoin and Boston University, who did not test the team greatly last year, have been dropped from this year's schedule, to be replaced by the strong West Point swordsmen...

He is generally conceded to be one of the best passers in New England college ranks and it is hoped that his sharpshooting will give the Crimson secondaries a severe test.

All plays received a good test against the Freshman line, which, incidentally, looked exceedingly good...

If successful it would make good the boast: "Throughout industry the 'impossible' has yielded to Timken design, construction and resources."
