...practically offered little resistance to their opponents, who broke through and tackled repeatedly. Most of the gains were made through the right half of the line which was weakened by the absence of Hollister and Williams, who are unable to play on account of injuries. Weld and Pillsbury, behind the line, were assisted by very little interference, but, nevertheless, did good work. Stanton was slow in starting and generally was tackled before he gained much ground. The following freshmen played: O'Connor, centre; Shaw, Hovey, guards; Scannell, Watson, tackles; Barton, Pitts, ends; Dean, quarter; Pillsbury, Stanton, half-backs; Weld, fullback...
