...defense and, with a little more grooming, should develop into a versatile back. Another possibility is the substitution of a passer for the quarterback, and the assignment of Captain A.E. French '29 to the signal caller's post. Whatever combination may be evolved, it will receive an excellent test under fire against the Holy Cross invaders, very strong defensive players...

One child run down would cost thousands of votes, perhaps millions. Yet swarming imps were every where, all yelling and grinning, a few tying to the Derby's car tin cans which other imps snatched off, pummeling the tin-cantiers...
