...ficult even yet to form an adequate estimate of the team's worth. On the offense the chief defects are uncertainty in starting, lack of aggressiveness of the line, and fumbling by the backs; and in the Brown game a new weakness was present--wretched interference on end plays. On the defense the team has improved considerably, notably in the increased ability to analyze quickly the opponents' play.
