...other hand continually furnished thrills with their brilliant shots from mid-floor. Coach Wachter's best combination seems to be Fitts and A. E. McLeish '23 in the forward positions, H. B. Tyson '23 at center, and J. R. Tolbert '22 and S. B. Chase '21 in the backfield. When Fitts is shifted to center the team appears to lose most of its offensive power, for he is naturally a forward and lacks the defensive power necessary to a center. The Crimson players will therefore probably take the floor against Worcester on Saturday with Tyson at center...
Tolbert at left guard and R. W. Fitts '23 at center seem to be the only fixtures on the five so far. S. B. Chase '21 and W. V. Miller '23 are the leading candidates for the other backfield place, while A. E. McLeish '23, T. C. McConnell '21 and J. Pallo '23 are in the van for the forward positions. There is also a chance that Fitts may be shifted to a forward. H. B. Tyson '23 replacing him at center...
...quarterback of the second team this fall, will all be available for quarterback next fall. The outstanding backs are W. H. Churchill '23, R. W. Fitts '23, M. Gratwick '22 and G. Owen '23, although V. Chapin '23 and F. Rouillard '23 will also be strong contenders for a backfield position. For ends, Coach Fisher will have J. Crocker '22, Captain Kane, C. C. Macomber '22 and E. G. Seldon '23 from the regulars, and E. P. Weatherhead '22 and S. P. Moorehead '22 from the second squad. The tackle positions will probably be filled by W. D. Hubbard...
Clark has a fast, accurate aggregation which defeated Brown University Wednesday by a score of 36-35. Their forwards are exceptionally fast and will give the Crimson backfield men a severe test. Their weakness in the game with the Brunonians lay in their continuous fouling. With R. W. Fitts '23 at center and A. E. McLeish '23 and T. C. McConnell '21 in the forward positions, the University has a powerful point-scoring trio while S. B. Chase '21 and W. V. Miller '23 are both dependable guards...
Last season, defeating all of its opponents, Georgia showed its strength, and one of the Atlanta papers is reported to have said that no team could score through the Georgia line unless it had an all-American backfield. In the nine games which the eleven played, it scored 210 points to its opponents' 17, and allowed only one opponent, the University of Alabama, to cross its goal line...
