...starting lineup for Yale are Captain and left tackle Mike Pyle, left end John Hutcherson, left guard Ben Balme, center Hardy Will, right tackle Jim King, and the entire backfield-quarterback Tom Singleton, left halfback Lou Muller, right halfback Ken Wolfe, and fullback Bob Blanchard. (The other two men in the starting lineup are right guard Bill Kay, a sophomore who is filling in for Paul Bursick, the victim of a knee injury against Princeton last week; and right end Jim Pappas, a junior...
Munro will probably start Mike Kramer and Dick McIntosh at wing, Sweeney and Teddy Wendell at inside, and Seamus Malin at center, with Bill King, Peter Savage, and captain Bill Driver at half-back, Tim Morgan and Sandy Cortesi at fullback, and either John Adams or Bob Forbush in the goal.

The pass went 33 yards: Wolfe could have walked the last five. Singleton then passed to Muller for the extra points. Halftime score: Yale...
