F. S. Butterworth, '95, f.b. 21 154 5.11
From these tables it will be found that the averages of the teams are as follows:
YALE.
Average wt. of rush-line. 177 lbs.
Average wt. of backs. 154 lbs.
Advertisement
Average wt. of whole team. 168 7-11
HARVARD.
Average wt. of rush-line, 172 4-7 lbs.
Average wt. of backs, 163 lbs.
Average wt. of whole team. 169 1-11 lbs.
This makes it evident that Harvard will have the lighter line for blocking-off, and offensive play in general, but the heavier for breaking through, and defensive play, since, when Yale has the ball, both Trafford and Lake will play in the line.
