...back field, quick and clever as Gierasch was, his interference for his fellow-backs was weak. Although Kendall and Warren were effective in hurdling their opponents yesterday, their style of running high will be fatal against a strong eleven. Fincke and Parker were up to the standard...
...real feature of the play in the second half, was Gierasch's running. Besides some clever work behind his interference, he scored a touchdown after catching a punt on the forty-five yard line. Ellis, whose weight and quickness have always made him a possible candidate for the line, was tried at tackle on the second. Waters and Donald spent a great deal of time coaching him, and when he learns how to apply his strength he will make a valuable...

Some clever rushing by Parker carried the ball up near the line, when Reid, on the third attempt, scored the first touchdown of the season. Daly missed a difficult goal.

"Dolls," though anonymous, is plainly the work of some one with a trained dramatic sense and a gift for clever dialogue. One would like to see the author try his hand at an out-and-out comedy...
