...Fincke again played well, but is of course below the standard of Daly. The whole team tackled poorly, and failed to follow the ball, and the backs were still slow. The forwards, however, started more quickly than on Monday. The line will soon be in its final shape with Boal able to play. He will take part in this afternoon's game for the first time since he was injured in the Amherst game three weeks ago. Coach Waters is making particular efforts to bring Lawrence up to a higher standard of play. He shows little improvement in defensive work...

Boal was able to run through signals yesterday without any trouble, and unless he meets with new injuries, he will be able to play in the Pennsylvania game.

Reid, Parker, Gierasch and Fincke were all in the line-up. The centre of the line was unexpectedly weak. So long as Burnett was in the game, the forwards were able to break through fast enough to stop the guards-back play before it started, but towards the end of the first half, gains were made steadily through Sargent, Hollingsworth and Barnard...
