...check this attack Bruce Munro will send the same defense that held Tufts and Cornell to one goal apiece. His center halfback will again he Stacey Holmes, who has supplemented his defensive work with two goals; Denny Little will play left halfback, and John Hadik will be at right halfback...

Strongest in the backfield, the football team will be led by fullback and captain Stu Dunsker and halfback Charley Biltz. Juniors Gib Gerry and Ronny Siegle, both in their second year on the team, will bolster the line...
