...since the Cornell game. The one exception is that G. C. Caner '17 will start at right tackle instead of H. L. Sweetser '17, who played that position against both Cornell and Princeton. Although Caner has not been regularly on team A on account of injuries, he is a veteran of two years' experience, and should increase rather than detract from the team play of the line...
...Haughton's problem was to beat a veteran cloven, familiar with Harvard's style of play, with an inexperienced eleven, having only a second-hand knowledge of Princeton's tactics. Tufts had beaten Tufts the following week, 3 to 0. On the strength of that record Princeton should have been the favorite. Man of man, the advantage in weight, experience and skill was undoubtedly with Princeton as it was in the contest a year ago. But the betting odds told another story. They favored Harvard--and logically. For past experience supported the assumption that the Harvard coaches would be able...
...these two universities in that it was a hard, tiring struggle form start to finish, with either team having a good chance of winning up to the final blow of the whistle.

Ryerson and Zander at the end positions are good men, but cannot fill those places as did Shelton and Eckley. Brown is at centre, filling...
...University of Virginia, fresh from a 21-to-0 victory over Richmond College, was, barely beaten by Georgia in a hot, closely-contested game. This defeat, the first Georgia has been able to inflict in four years, was somewhat lessened by the appearance of Thurman, Virginia's veteran punter, who reported for practice at the beginning of the week, and who got into the game for a few minutes in the second half. His addition to the squad should be a decided strengthening of its defense, for he got off his usual long punts Saturday...
