line of play but not brilliant in any one of them was regular quarterback of last year's fine aggregation but this year after the defeat bv Fordham was sent to the bench and emerged in the last two games against Butler and Georgetown as a halfback where be has shown more ability in carrying the pigskin than he did as a signal-caller Connor a brother of Jack Connor of 1927 renown has not the very necessary asset of experience If he were as capable in other parts of the Quarterback role as he Is in his passing the quarterback problem would be settled with little worry Gaudet is the dark horse of Violet football fans As a sophomore he showed fine form that promised varsity ranking in his next year but so far th season he has had little or no opportunity to show his abilities All season he has been given attent'on in the nuting department and he has been given much tutorine in the proper han-nutting department and he has been seen enough in competitive action to give a line on his abilities The choice of one of the three men will rest no doubt on their work In this week's practice and scrimmage sessions None of them has yet this season shown any of the all around ability of
