...Finney sliced yardage off the Crimson ends in great chunks with the pass option play and Choquette bore down relentlessly on the middle of the line in a 33-7 rout of an injury-riddled Crimson eleven. Today, injuries have not taken such a toll on the varsity, though halfback Tom Lawson has been sidelined with a week-old leg bruise. Linemen Jim Keating and Chuck Papalia both are bothered with stiff necks and will be used sparingly...

Captain Floyd Moloy and Bill Rapp, both of whom played only a short time against the Tigers, should start today against the Terriers...

This year, with Rookie Speedster Bobby Mitchell operating at halfback to keep the defense spread to cover an outside threat, Cleveland has the best ground game the pro league has seen in years...
