...most noticeable need of the eleven all season has been team-work and this need has been in evidence in the rushes of the forward line. The offensive department has found it difficult to offer mutual support in the wing rushes especially, and the heardest practice of the season has been devoted to developing a formidable line. With the experience in team-play that they have gained this fall, Baker, Weld, Carnochan, and Smart should make good material with which to start in developing a forward combination for the intercollegiate series in the spring...
...whole, not in its individual members. Moreover, Bradlee showed himself almost indispensable by the phenomenal brilliancy of his offensive playing. This, together with Cowen's weakness at guard, Storer's superiority as a tackle rather than an end, Gilman's adaptability, and Hardwick's experience at the wing position, are the reasons for the shift.

One guard and one end seemed particularly weak, but these defects were largely remedied by the shift which placed Storer at the right wing, with Gilman filling the tackle position. The regular line is now intensely powerful on the defence, one through which no team yet played has been able to gain appreciably; on the offence it is not so good, seeming to lack somewhat the fighting punch even when well down in the enemies' territory...
Shake-ups in the make-up of the eleven have been so frequent that it is impossible to predict a single position on the team for the final games. Since Marquard is strong at centre, Ketcham has gone to guard, but the situation at the wings is so unpromising that he may be shifted there. Tomorrow will probably show the most promising candidates for the wing positions...
