...Wood, Sophomore quarterback, hockey and baseball star. Davis Cup Team nominee, president of his class, and honor man in his studies. Out of the 25 passes he threw in the Michigan game only one was intercepted. Today he will direct the Crimson aerial attack in its crucial test against a well-informed and well-instructed Yale defense...

...backfield although still crude, was better than any done by a Crimson ballcarrying quartet this year. Wood established himself as an able and alert quarterback. He played a heady and cool game throughout and although not carrying the ball once he was responsible for the last touchdown when he threw another last-minute aerial to Harding, duplicating his feat of the Army game. Harper was back to his old form again when, in the opening quarter, he made two successive first downs single handed...
