...Withington '11, captain and right tackle, prepared at Oahu College, Honolulu. Last year he played right guard on the University team. He is 21 years old, 6 feet tall, and weighs 188 pounds...
...tackle positions McKay and Withington are playing their usual strong and able games. At West Point and against Dartmouth, McKay was a tower of strength in the line. At the other tackle Withington has been playing brilliant football. Whether it is luck or ability that has brought him the chances, he has made the most of them, as was well demonstrated at West Point where he scored the only touchdown.

Beside displaying unusual physical power, the 1910 team has maintained the highest average academic standing of any eleven in the history of the University. This exceedingly gratifying condition is due almost entirely to the inspiring leadership of Captain Withington. In any case he must have unstinted praise; and if his team wins, he deserves as much credit as Coach Haughton...
