...backs are heavy and experienced. Hale, centre rush last year, is almost a fixture at fullback. Sharpe alone of the halfbacks is playing a brilliant game. He is still weak, however...
...them the result of a fluke. On the whole, the first eleven played a snappier game than yesterday, and did better defensive work in the line; but the interference was not good enough to allow the halfbacks to gain around the ends. Graydon was tried at fullback and did some successful bucking. He hit the line hard, watched the holes accurately and used his body well in getting through.

Another important change has been to put Keane in at quarterback, so that the ratio between quarterbacks and halfbacks might be equalized...

He was substitute fullback on the Freshman eleven last fall. He is 18 years old, weighs 162 pounds and is 6 feet in height...
