...Bowdoin game. The backs could gain fairly well around the ends, but could make only short distances through the line. This was due partly to the slow starting of the runners and partly to the failure of the linemen to keep the holes open. The defensive work was better, and the second eleven was unable to gain any ground whatever. There was some improvement in running back the kick-offs, as the interference formed quickly and the runners stuck to it well. The entire team was considerably affected by the heat, and its work was tame and spiritless...
Eaton went in at left tackle on the first eleven for the first time this year. He put plenty of energy in his work, was very active, and succeeded better than the other men in the line in helping the backs. He endured the hard work well and was not exhausted. J.

Ristine, who has just gained permission from the Faculty to play, went in at right...

This interference was formed on all the end plays, but the inefficiency of the backs in blocking the opposing ends prevented any long gains. Although the line men still lacked speed, they showed some improvement in opening holes. The return of Campbell and Gierasch was encouraging. Campbell went into the practice game but received a bruise on his arm and had to retire...
