...backfield will be the greatest problem, for the loss of Mahan, Watson and King will be greatly felt. W. F. Robinson '18 should prove competent in the quarterback position, as he has shown up exceedingly well as much as he has played this fall. W. J. Murray '18, A. W. Gardner '18 and Murray Taylor '18, from this year's second team, will be dependable substitutes...
