...should finish in one of the first ten or fifteen places. They defeated Yale two weeks ago with little difficulty, Rogers capturing first place. It is doubtful whether they will be able to cope with Cornell's well balanced team, especially as Swede is hampered by a bad leg...
...were encouraging in that several of the most valuable backs and linesmen were out of the play. In fact, the backfield was almost entirely substitutes, E. S. Gehrke, P. Jenkins and L. Lockwood watching from the side lines. Not one of these men is seriously hurt, though Lockwood's leg is in rather troublesome shape. Gehrke and Jenkins, who have been the mainstay of 1924's attack, have sustained minor injuries which may keep them out part of the time Saturday. In that event the Freshmen will be sorely crippled and weakened nearly by half their offensive power...
...Princeton game, alternated with Fitzgerald and Churchill at the quarter and halfback positions, and it is not at all unlikely that either or both of these men will replace the regulars before the Yale game. Sedgwick was again on team "B". Woods, suffering from a painful but not serious, leg-bruise, was the only man who did not take part in the practice. However, he spent his time limbering up under Doctor Nichols' direction...
...long afterward Keck launched his own personal 6-play offensive, when Owen's kick was blocked. The ball careened over to the other corner of the field, pursued by Legendre, Owen and another Wasp-leg. The latter duplicated the feat of Garrity in the Yale game last year when his interference made it possible for Scheerer to carry his recovered fumble for a touchdown. Legendre passed on and fell on the ball. Two plays afterwards, Garrity waded through a huge hole behind Keck, hurled himself on his neck and snuggled around the pigskin...
...feared, two of her best men, Tom Dickens, who was regarded as the best tackle on the squad, wrenched his knee so badly that he will be shelved until next year. As Bob Lay, who was first string backfield material last year until injured, bruised both his arm and leg Saturday, it is now expected that he will be lost to the team for the second consecutive season. At present the hospital list totals 10, including Dickens and Lay; Peterson, halfback; Thorne Murphy, quarterback; Captain Callahan, center; Acosta, guard; Aldrich, halfback; French, halfback; Sauerback, end; and Quaile, guard. Of this...
