...penetrating Dartmouth's defense for two touchdowns last Saturday. Brown showed a driving attack that will be a real threat to the Crimson goal. And although the absence of Sheldon at end will prove to be a severe handicap tomorrow, the development of Payor, Sweet, and Klump in the backfield during the past week has given an added impetus to the Brown Offense...
...tomorrow's contest, and who will replace him is still an open question. Drew-Bear was at his position, right fullback, yesterday, with Pattison and Tarnowsky flanking Brooks at half-back. Phaneuf, however, cannot be left out of consideration, and may be included somewhere in the backfield tomorrow. Brooks has practically recovered from the injuries he received at Princeton and will surely be seen at center half, while Captain Greenidge and Fitton will be at left fullback and goal as usual...

Zarakov, who was badly mauled in the game with the Princeton Freshmen last Saturday, was hobbling about with a cane yesterday afternoon, and the chances for getting him in shape before the Freshmen face Yale are becoming poorer as Saturday draws near...

Zarakov, the Freshman star, on whom the team depended for much of its scoring power against the Yale Freshman on Saturday, was hobbling around on crutches Miller, who contributed one of the most sensational runs in last Saturday's game, was also limping badly yesterday. Coady his running mate, although less seriously injured, was also in poor condition yesterday. Ellison, another reliable backfield man, is still on crutches from injuries received in the middle of the season...
