Gonterman took his place in the second half and though owing to a rather weak line at times he did not make much progress, he showed himself superior to Wrightington in every point. C. Brewer played an excellent game. He gained much ground, tackled perfectly and punted as well as he has ever punted. He outpunted McCarthy, even when the latter had the wind in his favor...

It rolled over the Brown line, however, where Thayer was tackled and forced to make a safety touchdown...
