...play and hard smashing pulled out the next three sets and the match. Lyon was very effective and his overhead smashes and hard ground strokes gained many points. The Larneds lost much of their speed and control in the latter part of the match and their defeat is due largely to this fact...

...practice yesterday was somewhat better; there was a little more snap to the plays, due, perhaps to the colder weather, and the line held more strongly than has been customary. Still there was hardly any brilliant playing to distinguish it from the general run of practices during the past few weeks. Knowles made a run of 55 yards from a kick-off and added several shorter gains around the end, but the benefit of these advances was lost by frequent fumbling, especially when touchdowns were imminent. Only one touchdown was scored, and that by the first eleven on straight rushes...

...squad B, although the plays were started slowly. In the line-up between the second team of squad A and team B the playing was exceedingly loose and erratic. No one seemed to have much idea of playing low or following the ball. The lack of team play was due largely to confusion of signals...
