...gains through the centre and around the ends, especially the right end. The men started from their positions before the ball was snapped back, often giving the play away and causing a change of the signals. This fault certainly should be corrected. The coaching was done by Cumnock and Cranston. Lake was on the field in his foot-ball suit but only practised punting...
...very erratic and on the whole was not very encouraging. There were so many men either laid off from injuries or playing in a lamed condition that the play was anything but quick and full of vim as it should have been. The coaching was done by Cumnock, Cranston, Lee, Crosby and Lathrop, Comnock and Cranston paying special attention to the centre men, Lee to the halves and Crosby to the ends. Perry, L.

Cumnock coached the line men in defensive work and they did so well that with the exception of three long gains made in the last ten minutes of an hours hard play, the second eleven backs did not make a gain of over five yards.

The 'varsity backs made many long gains especially around the ends, the interference was very good at times, and most of it was fair...
...interference was good especially that of the backs and several very pretty long runs from the middle of the field were made by Corbett and Lake. Both Lee and Cranston were on hand to coach, the latter paying special attention to the work of the centre and guards...
