Excerpt: ... started in as a second choice right end, a chap named Sherrard having first claim to the position. Tom was plugging along at right guard 184 and doing well. He was a trifle light for the place, but he was a steady player and a heady one and it took him less than a fortnight to oust his rival from the position. Tom was a surprise both to himself and to Steve.
