...Captain Ticknor, the All-American center, and Wood, its brainy quarterback who has lately developed into a triple threat back. The Army counters with a veteran line that practically played as a unit in the game last year and a trio of unsung but experienced Sophomores in the backfield...
...Harvard had its full strength in the game today there is but little doubt that Coach Horween's team would be a favorite at good odds.

The backfield seems complete with Schereschewsky taking Devens' place at the one half, White returning to fullback, Wood remaining at quarter, and either Mays or Crickard getting the call at the other half...
