...loss of Milstead, Blair, and Miller. Butterworth and Richards, the latter the strongest player in the Freshman line, look to be the best prospects. Lnman, Bingham, and Hart are again available at end. Bench at number one and Pond at number two should be fixtures in the backfield. Cottle, the only other letter-man returning, will probably be forced to give way to Kline, Failing, or Wadsworth, the three versatile Freshman backs who helped to bury the Crimson first-year men under a 59 to 0 avalanche. Bunnell, also a Freshman, is the leading quarterback candidate, Riley and Wienecke...
...with 14 letter-men, may well hope to regain her lost prestige. She can put on the field a team composed entirely of letter-men, consisting of Stout and Tillson or Drews, ends; Gates and Howard, tackles; hills and Crago, guards; Caldwell, center; Gibson, Legendre, and Williams in the backfield with Dinsmore, Wingate, or Caulkins at quarterback. Blessed with a surplus of good quarterback material for several years. Coach Roper will have five...

Forest, a very likely prospect at either center or tackle who was handicapped by injuries this fall, will probably win by regular place in the line.

Harvard loses in Captain Hubbard a man who can scarcely be replaced. Hill at end and Eastman at tackle will also be missed from the forward line, and Coburn and Lee will leave a hole in the backfield. Plaffmann's dropkicking and Jenkins' running, the steady center play of Kernan and Broadford, and the all-around competence of Crosby at end and Grew at guard are features of the past season which will be missing in 1924. the Crimson, however, will be by no means shattered in strength Combs will be back at one end with Robb...
...backfield presents a difficult problem. At quarterback McGlone should have the call over Splading, Moseley, and Akers, as he did this year, and Hamlen. Freshman Quarterback, can scarcely be considered seriously on re-count of his lack of experience. Coburn's place as number one back may go to Howe, who played there regularly this year until his injury. Coady, a powerful defensive player and a good punter, may get the place, or he may be converted into a lineman, where he formerly played. Cheek is comparatively sure of a place as number two back unless he is shifted...
