...blow to the early-season University machine which the coaching staff have been building up is the loss of J. J. Maher '26, who came out of Wednesday afternoon practice with an injured leg. Maher is a veteran backfield man with two years of University experience and considered one of the mainstays of the 1925 outfit. His disability, which will probably keep him off the field for three weeks or a month, will mean that a new adjustment in the backfield will be necessary at least for the first two games of the season...
...ends, as they have been for practically the whole week. The middle men of the line were shifted yesterday. Daly replace Hoague at left guard. McGlone was in charge of the team from the quarter back position with Coady, Miller, and Crosby making up the rest of the backfield.

...coaches have shifted several men to new positions in their efforts to get the best all around combination. C. D. Coady '27, last season one of the leading tackles in Eastern football, has so far been used wholly in the backfield, where he played on his Freshman team. He is one of the best punters on the squad. Similarly Madison Sayles '27 and Roger Doherty '26, both backs last year, are now being tried at end. Also W. R. Chase '26 and J. M. Barbee '28, originally ends, have been converted into backs. Turner, former all scholastic center, has been...
