The advantages of the desired improvement are too obvious to need even enumeration. its effects could not fail to be beneficial to all concerned, and of course the only possible drawback to the project would be the lack of money for its success. And yet it does seem almost a disgrace that such an obstacle should be so powerful. There certainly is no improvement needed half so much as the one for which we now ask.

The tackling was not good at times but the blocking, rushing and team work showed a decided improvement since the last game. The result of the game on the whole was encouraging...
