...score does not begin to indicate the superiority of the University eleven. Both in ground gaining, and in punting, the team covered enough distance to have scored at least three times, but could not seem to work together at critical moments. There was considerable fumbling, part of which was due, no doubt, to a slippery ball and a wet field. Owing to the difficulty of the backs keeping their footing on end plays, but few gains could be made thus and the University eleven was forced, when not punting, to rely upon rushes through the line. Its superiority in weight...
Most of the faults were due to poor team work rather than to bad individual playing. Marshall was back at quarter and played a fast game. LeMoyne punted well, making one kick of 55 yards...
...team again showed its great fault of last year in losing the ball after carrying it almost to the goal line. In this instance, however, it scored a safety by breaking through and taking advantage of a fumbled pass behind the goal. The satisfactory results of the practice were due largely to the excellent playing of the second eleven...

After the preliminary work, the University team played a fifteen minute half with the second and was not only unable to make a touchdown, but was even scored on.

On the offense, they frequently broke through the opposing line and made holes for the second's backs...
...completed dam will largely eliminate the variation of level due to the tide, and will do away with the unsightly low-tide river bed; it will admit, therefore of the improvement and beautification of the banks all along the river. Aside from this, the dam and basin will greatly improve the river for University rowing. It will obviate the necessity for rowing at low-tide in a very narrow channel, as at present, and will facilitate coaching by allowing the launch to keep alongside the crew even at the narrowest parts of the river...
