...carries the ball well, but plays too high on the defense and uses his hands constantly on the offense in a way that may lose his team yards through penalties. Starr, centre, Sibley, left guard, and Emmons, right guard, are all steady and reliable, though none of them is brilliant. Emmons outclasses the other two in aggressiveness, however, while Starr has a tendency to ease up in his play unless kept at it by constant urging...
...practice for several days, and, again, the difficulty in selecting the men for several positions were causes which have produced a chaotic condition in the line-up. The backfield may now practically be said to have been determined upon as Marshall, Nichols, Hurley and Schoellkopf. Nichols is most brilliant in running with the ball, but is inclined to individual play; of late he has fumbled with dangerous frequency. Bowditch and LeMoyne or Clothier have been picked for the end positions, and LeMoyne is doing the punting. In the line from tackle to tackle, there has been much shifting, and several...

Barring Clarkson's fine work in the box, the best individual showing was made by Quigley, who played behind the bat in R. P. Kernan's temporary absence on account of a strained leg. Besides catching excellently, he succeeded in throwing out three men at second, and made one brilliant catch of a foul fly in the ninth inning. His batting, too, showed great improvement. Carr made a bad misjudgment of a foul fly near the plate, but otherwise fielded his position cleanly. Stephenson made two good catches in right field, showing great improvement over his clumsiness in the Princeton...
