...equal ability. The halfback positions are filled by Yeager, a strong defensive back, and Berryman, the greatest all around player who has ever represented Penn. State. Czarneckie, the biggest man on the squad, at tackle, and Ewing the quarterback, fill the other two vacancies. McDowell, the veteran guard, is said to be exceptionally brilliant in interference and the shifting of Captain Wood from centre to tackle has added weight to the one side of the line which the University found weak last season...
Neither eleven can boast a thoroughly veteran line-up. New material is to be seen on each side, and that being the case, the break of the game will undoubtedly rest largely on how well the two teams have been coached. Captain Barrett and Shelton, last year considered by Walter Camp as All-American possibilities, are the greatest stars of the Cornell eleven, while Gillies and Cool have the reputations of linemen of much more than average ability. From Harvard's stand-point, Coach Haughton is sending in the best eleven he has. Enwright is the only man rated...

The nine is handicapped by a lack of extra men for pitching duty, however, for Young has been the only dependable twirler on the squad...
...Candidates Association on Soldiers Field at 2.30 o'clock. The editorial nine is in great form, and will undoubtedly continue its unbroken string of victories. At hitting the pill, pilfering bags, bagging flies and flying around the bases the CRIMSON has no superiors; while Steamship Hall, the war-scarred veteran of the pitching mound, will convince any anti-militarists among the opposing batsmen that adequate defense is the best policy. Star playing by the candidates has been carefully guarded against by an arrangement of the point credit system, whereby every offender will be remorselessly docked, and any pitcher who inadvertently...
