...quarterback today. His ability is unquestioned and throughout the season he has shown skill in varying the attack and inspiring the team to do its best. In generalship he is a shade above Potter, who, however, has the better of Wigglesworth on taking risks.

Although Wigglesworth will start, Potter will undoubtedly get in, as the difference between the two is very slight.

Both Fisher and Withington broke through and Withington blocked the ball, Fisher recovering it and carrying it to Dartmouth's 23-yard line before being tackled. From this time on Dartmouth never got nearer than...

...played well, but without unity. West Point made the first touchdown after intercepting a forward pass, and Dean later kicked a field goal from the 38-yard line. In the last quarter Kilpatrick made a 20-yard run to West Point's 24-yard line, whence Daly scored a drop-kick...
