THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT jfnuthall On the first day of school the call for candidates was sent out by Captain Hyatt, and seven of last year's players responded, although the rest of the squad, with the exception of Noyes, a new man, was green material. The squad as a whole was very young and light. The usual scrimmage prac- tice was held again this year with the High School team, our squad not being large enough to pro- duce two teams. The season, taken in its entirety, could not be proclaimed a success, as the team failed to win half their games. This failure, however, cannot be laid to the unwillingness and inability of the team, but to the superiority of our opponents. The necessary shifting of men to various posi- tions to get them where they were most needful proved to be our stumbling block. Nevertheless, by the end of the season we had a backfield of good ground gaining ability and a strong charg- ing line. Below are a few points of each player's work. Captain Mills, one of the best centers on the Hudson River, was shifted to the position of half- back to strengthen the baekfield. He was in the game every minute and showed wonderful ability in putting life and fight into his team. Had he played his regular position he would, without doubt, have been placed on the All-Hudson team again. Gleason, G., who was elected Captain for 1916- '17, played his usual strong game at fullback. He was handicapped toward the end of the season by an injured leg, but nevertheless kept his old fight. We are expecting wonders from him next year. Noyes played his position of halfback in credit- able style. He was very speedy and when once loose was a hard man to stop. We much regret the loss of this man. Persiani started the season at tackle, but was later shifted to center. He was very aggressive and was an unusually good tackle. Thew and Gleason, I., the tackles, played a steady, consistent game although it was the first year of football for the latter. They should both develop into very good men in a few years.

THE 1916 RIVERVIEW ORBIT Leitch, W., and Reed played the guard posi- tions and played them exceptionally well, con- sidering their youth and inexperiencc. Reed only played in the last few games, but he showed pluck in great abundance. Smith, Schryver, Walsh and Fox as ends played very well and consistently. Fox showed won- derful ability at breaking up interference. Palmer, at quarterback, played a sturdy game. He possessed the knack of picking the weak spots in an opponent's line. He was the best broken field runner on the team, using the stiff arm perfectly. Poucher started the season in the backfield, but was forced to retire on account of a wrenched knee received in a practice game. We regretted his loss, as we were depending to a great extent on his punting ability. Schedule: Riverview Mount Pleasant 6. Riverview Irving 0. Riverview Mohegan 28. Riverview Stone School 13.
