On the offense the chief defects are uncertainty in starting, lack of aggressiveness of the line, and fumbling by the backs; and in the Brown game a new weakness was present--wretched interference on end plays. On the defense the team has improved considerably, notably in the increased ability to analyze quickly the opponents' play.
