Early in the season the back-field developed a strong, vigorous attack, but the line has never reached the effectiveness of the men behind it. A scarcity of experienced men who were at once heavy and fast made the problem of building up the line difficult from the first, and team-work made little progress under the many changes and experiments in the personnel of the team. For a long time there was evident in the line a woeful lack of aggressiveness, due largely to the lack of confidence of the men in themselves and to the same unfamiliarity with...
...line, Marshall has not played the game that his former reputation called for. His signalling for plays has been slow, and his judgment in directing attacks not good. On the defense he plays too far back of the line, and is not reliable in handling punts. Nichols is a fast and brilliant runner, and fights for every inch after being tackled, but is apt to rely too much on his own efforts. On plays through the line he lacks power; in the secondary defense he is uncertain. Schoellkopf is a hard plunging back on line plays, a sure ground gainer...

Much of the scoring of the Seniors was due to the weak tackling of the Sophomores. The Senior backs were especially fast and accurate and had no difficulty in making large gains either through the centre or on end plays...
Bowditch, LeMoyne and Meier were not in the scrimmage, although all three will undoubtedly be in condition to play on Saturday. Derby took Meier's place at left tackle yesterday; he has of late been playing a fast game in that position, although only recently shifted from the second eleven. Squires was also tried at left tackle. Twenty men in all were used in the University line...

Derby was moved to left tackle on the first eleven. Of the second eleven, Bartels played a conspicuously fast game at left end, both in mass plays and in the open field; Carr made a 20-yard run through the University eleven toward the close of the period. Squires had his nose broken, but went back into the scrimmage with a nose guard...
