...result of yesterday's line-ups it seems improbable that Macomber, in spite of his spectacular play Saturday, will replace either Kane or Crocker as first-string end. Gaston, too, on account of his long enforced absence, seems slated for team "B". Buell and Fitts, both of whom starred in the 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.

Corresponding to a similar movement by "Tad" Jones of Yale, Coach Fisher seems to be determined that during this week his second string men shall reach the acme of development. He also realizes only too well that some of his regulars are apt to be laid out in the Princeton game, and that he may have to play men on team "B" against Yale and in any case against Brown...
