Between the backs there was little to choose, though Brown and Wrightington played rather the best game. Neither of the fullbacks did any remarkable punting. Brown, however, kicked several difficult goals from touchdowns. Both Beale and Cochrane did well at quarter back...
...Brown then punted to the forty yard line, and on a fumble Lewis fell on the ball. Brown ran twenty yards through the centre, but Wrightington lost and the ball went to Trinity on downs.
