Outrushing the Tiger players and outmanouvering them at every point there can be no doubt that Coach Fisher's men were superior at first. Repeatedly the University passes threw the defence into confusion and during the first three quarters of the game it was generally the reliable Gilroy, the bulwark of the secondary defence who was needed to stop the Crimson rushers who again and again pierced the Tiger line. On the other hand except for one brief spurt which ended in failure, the Princeton attack seemed unable to gain ground, the passes going amiss and even the elusive Lourie...
...Emmons, who temporarily is out of the game with a bad foot that may make him unavailable for the Holy Cross contest on Saturday. Buell, who took his place at second, although playing there for the first time this season, performed creditably. Hallock, in center field, proved a veritable bulwark to the Crimson defence. Time after time he made running catches of flies that looked like sure hits; in the eleventh he cut off two bids for long safeties by plays that brought the crowd to its feet...
...forward line-up of the Freshmen is a splendid husky affair. D. S. Holder, E. K. McCagg, S. Bradford, R. Hubbard, and C. Hubbard form a sturdy bulwark from tackle to tackle, though Bradford's passing is far better than his line play. Holder particularly is an almost impassable barrier at tackle. The wingmen, L. C. Larrabee and W. N. Gates, are average ends, but have improved steadily...
...piloting the team. Scanlon and Gilbert, both good ground gainers, are fighting for the halfback position, with Dandalet, a former St. Thomas College star, at full-back. Dandalet, Weighing 192, is the outstanding feature of the team; he is a terror on offensive, gaining almost at will, and a bulwark on the defense...
...remaining men of the University combination, T. C. Pratt '22 and A. L. Frenyear '21 are strong, steady performers. Pratt; at goal, was a veritable bulwark throughout all games, again and again stopping shots which seemed all, but the impossible. Frenyear is a veteran who knows how to handle his stick. A companion attack man who has played a sterling game this year is C. L. Nunneker '22, also a clever stick handler. G. K. Bragger '22, C. H. Kimball '22 and G. G. Toohy '21 are good men and will probably fill berths on the team next year...
