...sided score. Behind an interference which left the field strewn with Case tacklers on each play, Coach Yost's backs went through for long gains repeatedly. On one occasion it required but two plays to take the ball over the goal line, Catlett, a former second string man, beginning his season's work with two long dashes for the second touchdown. Catlett was the pivotal point in these successful forward passes, all of which netted long gains...

The list of possible substitutes for the position includes Swigert, Watson, Cottrell, Winsor, Donerty, and Willcox. From among these the coaches are counting on developing several second-string men of good calibre, but the filling of the position is decidedly a problem...
