...Williams game the men were not aggressive and without life and until the Brown game lacked both team-work and offensive power. Bates and Holy Cross were defeated 15 to 0 and 8 to 0, respectively, the team narrowly escaping being scored on by one of Holy Cross's clever forward passes. The Williams game which was won 18 to 0, followed these and showed some improvement in the individual work of the men, although the team-work was still undeveloped...
...upon Captain Howe. The team has never done anything worth while, except when he has been behind the line. This, of course, means that the substitute quarterback material is weak. Howe, though not physically a strong man, had been until the Princeton game, regarded as a superior general, a clever punter, and a valuable man in running back punts. Last Saturday his generalship was severely criticised and he muffed punts again and again. The timely development of Walter Camp, Jr., has relieved Howe from punting just as the development of Francis relieved him from placement kicking...
...plunging of the backs were the features of the game. All the scoring was done in the first period of play. Soon after the kick-off, Dickerman, with excellent interference, ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Hurd kicked the goal. A few minutes later Exeter scored again on a clever forward pass from Hurd to Brown, Hurd again kicking the goal. The final score was the result of a punt blocked by Kirkpatrick of Exeter; the ball rolled 30 yards and McDougall fell on it behind the goal line for a touchdown...
...another obscure, and still another juvenile, is an excellent number. Mr. J. D. Adams's account of the Irish dramatic movement is a capable and finished essay of which any literary magazine might be proud, Mr. Britten's "The Smartness of Mr. Warden" is somewhat talky, but readable and clever, and Mr. Skinner's anecdote "The Substitute" is interesting and vivid. The editorials are able and to the point...
...scored twice the regular first team lined up against the second, Pennock and Trumbull being in the line again after a few days' rest. The ball was put in play in mid-field and steadily advanced to within 30 yards of the second team's goal. Here a clever forward pass from Logan to Handy brought the first team within striking distance, and on the next play Francke made a touchdown. The second team was given the ball on their 20-yard line and easily drove the first team back, but lost the ball on an on-side kick...
