...line (only one starter back from last year) is weaker than Bucknell's. But blitzes on Columbia's quarterback are risky. Roberts is a tricky runner, who can weave through holes left by overeager lineman. He has a career average of over five yards a carry. UMass quarterback Jerry Whelchel ran for 68 yards against Harvard two weeks ago, almost entirely on pass patterns that misfunctioned...
...Jerry Whelchel of UMass drove the Crimson crazy with short passes and gained 68 yards running when his receivers were covered. Bucknell's offense, which relies on Bob Marks's passing, largely from roll-out patterns, specializes in just the sort of plays UMass looked best...
...Marks, a sophomore, can run as well as Whelchel, and probably better. An all-Pennsylvania halfback in high school, he was converted to quarterback by Coach Bob Odell, who didn't want to start the season with Bill Lerro calling signals. Lerro, a better passer than Marks, should see some action, but his lack of speed keeps him off the first string...

...pass defense may need work, but it will not often be up against a quarterback as good as Whelchel was Saturday, or ends as good as Morin and Meers. Poe, Bilodeau, and John Dockery are experienced safetymen and it will be a rare passer who will gain 150 yards against them again. Dockery also filled in well at halfback on offense...
