Call away of Technology led at a fast pace all the way till the finish on the track, where he was passed by his teammate, Beam. C. L. Jackman sL. was running second till he weakened at the finish. Although technology men finished first and second, the University team filled all but two of the places from three to fourteen...
...game as it was played on Saturday, although not as good an exhibition as the teams are capable of, gave the spectators a chance for a comparison between the English style of football play and the American. The rugby game is undoubtedly more open. The running and passing and frequent kicking giving opportunity for good individual work, allowing the spectators to see just where and how the ball is handled.

Guild and Lockwood, although lacking experience, have both been doing promising work at fullback. Starr runs the team fast and uses good judgment in directing his plays. He has at present no reliable substitute. Neither Brill nor Squires fills his position satisfactorily on the defense, but Brill is valuable on the tackle-back play. Kersburg and Burr, guards, are both somewhat weak in defensive work, but are improving and Burr's punting is of great assistance to the team. White...
