...Although the playing of this combination has proved satisfactory so far, the coaches have decided that increased scoring power is essential even if gained at the expense of the defensive strength of the team and hence the second half of the first team game will probably find a radical shift in the composition of the University quintet, Captain McLeish or Gordon replacing one of the guards and Lowenthal or Pallo taking over a forward berth...
...most important shift was the sending of Joseph Larocque Jr. '23 from center to right wing. Larocque gave a fine exhibition at his new post, showing more speed and aggressiveness than any of the other Crimson forwards. If, as seems likely, Coach Claflin keeps him at wing permanently it will be necessary to develop an able center man to substitute for J. M. Martin...
...experiment," explained Dean Donham. "Two years ago we allowed a few unusually able students to enter in the middle of the year, with very satisfactory results, but we have never admitted any considerable number at that time.

It is entirely possible, for our larger courses are already divided into sections, and it may prove as convenient to start some sections in September and others in January as to start them all simultaneously...
...last year's yearling captain and one of the most promising of this year's crimson candidates, sprained his ankle badly and probably will not be again able, to play until after Christmas. This, coupled with Captain McLeish's injury the day before has necessitated a radical last minute shift in the line-up.

This player, one of the most brilliant last winter until...
...rather radical shift in the line-up has been necessitated by the fact that Captain McLeish sprained his ankle in yesterday's scrimmage and probably will not be able to play again until after Christmas. As a result of this injury, Coach Wachter will probably send Fitts to the forward berth, Tyson coming up from the second team to assume the duties of first string center. Two other changes have also been made in the make-up of the quintet, Rudofsky and Black of last year's Yearling five, replacing Feiring and Sipp in the back-field...
