Fumbling again interfered with the playing of the team and the many penalties imposed for holding and similar offences amounted to a considerable number of yards. In the second half, the showing was even poorer than it has been in several of the earlier games and the men were easily handled by the lighter Wesleyan players.

For at least six positions the competition is even, and it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty whom the coaches will finally select.
