...long, and is apt to miss good chances for passing. Goodale generally plays well, though he should be more careful in body checking and picking the ball up. If Nichols threw better he would be a remarkably fine player. Roundy is apt to use one hand and is a careless thrower. Marquand is uneven in his play at home and cannot always be depended upon. He body-checks and feints well, but holds the ball too long and likes to run down to the defence end of the field. Woods and Noyes are clever homes, but did not seem...
Collectively, the team fail to cover well and to play a good joint game; the fielders check poorly and are careless in throwing and the homes fail to adapt themselves to the exigencies of a match. On the other hand, the defence is strong and the team catch well and play a persistent and vigerous game. It would be well for the players to practice the throwing feint, so common in Canada. The player feints at throwing under or overhand and escapes a check by quickly reversing his throw. Most of the team, however, use but one style of throw...

It is a fact that can not be gainsaid that the provisions at present in force in the yard are totally inadequate and ridiculous, and that the danger is imminent...
...manner some have received undue preference, and others are clamorous against the unbusiness-like method which has been followed. So long as we rank among the former we are well enough pleased with the success and usefulness of the association, but after missing several days' preparation for lectures through careless management on the part of the society's agents, we feel much less disposed to praise it ungrudgingly. If such success is hoped for in the future as has marked the business transacted during the past week, we would urge upon those concerned a more thorough-going conduct of business...
