CENTER

BOLT ELWELL, seasoned by two years of experience, has been one of the defensive giants in the Eli's campaign this fall. The six-foot two-inch 205 pounder always turns in a steadily solid performance flanking the five-man Eli defensive line.

BACKS

TEX FURSE, stocky quarterback whose accurate right arm has sparked the Eli aerial attack this year, has befuddled all opponents with his field generalship. On defense, he backs up the middle of the line alone. Furse enters the Crimson game with a better than 50 percent passing average.

ART FITZGERALD, ex-Notre Dame gridder who at 170 pounds is the lightest regular on the, Eli squad, scored three touchdowns against the Crimson last year. He is a deceptively smooth runner whose passing ability is only excelled by that of Furse.

LEVI JACKSON, properly named by sports printers, "The Ebony Express," is Eli's vaunted breakaway runner. Having more speed and power than that other famous Elm City boy, Albie Booth, the freshman speedster has showed his heels to every Yale opponent this fall.

VANDY KIRK, 178-pound right half back, is reportedly the most polished Yale runner. This is substantiated by his record last fall, when he averaged 6.4 yards from scrimmage for the season.

FERD NADHERNY is a 210-pound pile-driver who can pick up those important yards in the clutches. He revealed a now ability last week against Princeton when he snagged a 52-yard pass from Furse and went all the way.
