...backfield yesterday was composed of Swigert, quarter; Whitney and McKinlock, halfbacks; and King fullback. This backfield combination has power and drive in hitting the line; but its weakness is apparent on the defense. Swigert, at quarter, tackles low and hard so that his ability partly makes up for any of the other's deficiencies in this respect. McKinlock and Whitney have both shown exceptional improvement in punting and drop-kicking...
...Rovers added three more runs in the third. Coolidge and Ayres were safe on errors, and after Frye had fanned, Gannett produced a drive that was good for four sacks. Marlboro tried to even things up, but two runs represented their best attempt. In the fourth, Fripp hit safely and stole second and third while Ashley was striking out. Waterman drew a pass, and with men on first and third, the double steal was worked to perfection, both men being safe. Waterman scored on Ayres' single. In the eighth, the Rovers directed a fussilade of hits against the opposing slabsman...

...Whitney and Macdonald, pitching for the seconds, held the Newtonians in check throughout the game. The seconds scored four in the initial round when Coolidge, Harvey, Mason and Phillips hit safely and scored. The other two runs came in the third. Captain M. B. Phillips '15 secured the longest drive of the season, hitting the ball against the Stadium for a clean home-run. In this inning also, Cartmell singled, stole second and scored on an error. After this the seconds came near tallying, but the pinch hit was lacking at critical moments...
