...large group of substitute players who are nearly equal to the first team men and who can replace them without serious loss to the organization. The value of this plan is shown by the outcome of the Penn State game where an entire backfield of second string ball carriers were able to hold to a tie an eleven which is admitted to be one of the most powerful in the East...

In addition to 3 men lost to the team entirely through injuries, 13 other men have been incapacitated for periods of more than two weeks, and of these 9 are first string players.

But without the two last named players to add speed to the backfield, the New Jersey team is surprisingly weak. It is due to this inability to find two adequate substitute backs that Princeton owed its defeat at the hands of the Navy and Chicago...
