...Townsend '18 and A. H. Bright '19. The new line-up of forwards proved fast and heady with the result that the first team was able to score three times in 15 minutes against team D. Two of these goals were by Townsend, scored as the outcome of brilliant individual work, and the other was made by a long shot of G. A. Percy...

Townsend, in particular, carried the puck frequently through the opposing team, his individual work as well as team play standing out conspicuously. Percy was easily the fastest man on the ice and was, besides, brilliant on the defence, slowing up the scrub forwards by skating across in front of them when they had the puck, but his shooting was not as accurate as Townsend's.

Some men have been acclaimed as clever players; Wheeler has rather shown himself a great player, dependable, sure, giving the game all he could. He has been universally recognized...
...freshmen year at Yale he also played tackle and for the last two years he has held down that position on the university team. His playing all fall has led to his being chosen by most of the football critics as tackle on the all-Eastern elevene. His brilliant tackling and following of the ball was a feature, in the games with Princeton and the University, and his recovery of Legore's fumble in the latter game was directly responsible for the Yale touchdown. Gates is 20 years old, weighs 180 pounds and is 6 feet tall...
