...Team A, Captain Cheek called signals with Miler, Crosby, and Howe completing the first team backfield. Saltonstall, Nash, Kilgour, Macomber, C. Bradford, Lindner, and Sayles composed the forward line...
...played Saturday and who did not appear yesterday in uniform were Adie, Coady, and Daley, Daley, veteran guard, is on crutches as the result of a leg injury that will keep him on the side lines until the Holy Cross encounter.
