...Knox '98 again had charge of practice yesterday in the absence of Head Coach Fisher. The whole squad did light work on the dummies for the first time; and afterwards the linesmen, with Dr. D. C. Parmenter '13 and C. F. Havemeyer '21 directing them, practiced charging, while the backfield candidates punted with R. S. Humphrey '21 as coach. About half an hour before the close of practice Coach Knox divided up his men into three temporary teams, which ran through the more elementary plays. The elevens lined up as follows...
...general floor work and experience made him an invaluable man. At the other forward position D. R. Stevens did his share of the work, forming with Captain Gordon and J. H. Sipp, the center, a fast and clever offense. Sipp did his best work under the basket. In the backfield, J. L. Rudolsky was the star performer, his quickness in covering his man making his work stand out as worthy of note. He and Gordon should be the best material from the Freshman ranks for the University team next year. Isadore, Black, the other guard, also played in good form...
...last year's team Yale has on the whole little to expect. "Fido" Kempton, "Tim" Osllahan, and Dickens, the three outstanding men on the team are gone. So are Dilworth, one of their best ends. Walker, the tall tackle, Acosia at guard, and Murphy, Kelly, and Lay from the backfield. But Hean and Cutler are available for the ends, into at tackle, Herr at guard, Cross at center, and Aldrich, Sturm and Jerdan in the backfield. And then Yale has its championship 1924 eleven with which to bolster out the depleted ranks. O'Hearn, quarterback on the eleven, and captain...
...greatest losses Princeton will feel. Stiuson and Davis on the ends and Halsey at tackle are the only other men of importance to go. But Thomas is capable of filling Calshan's shoes, while with such men as Lourie. Garrity, Witmer, Murrey, Cleaves and Gilroy available for the backfield Scheerer will not be missed. The line is even more secure, for in addition to McManmen, Keek, Hooper and Dickenson, the Orange and Black can call on their whole ineligible squad, the famous "some letters", who battled the regulars to many a standstill last fall, while in Frank Kutan, all Freshman...
...sensing passes accurately. Against an aggressive team his light weight is a handicap. It is a question whether Fitts at center and Pallo at forward is a stronger combination than Tyson at center and Fitts in his natural position of right forward. Feiring and Chase will be the backfield men, and McLeish, who was the star of the last two games, makes the fifth...
