...offense with dash and spirit. They ran down the field under punts in perfect style. Although responsible for one or two of West Point's minor gains, J. Lawrence played better than he has at any time this season. He was cool and was not guilty of his old fault of offside play...
...whole showed some improvement over their form in the Williams game, especially in charging their opponents and starting with the backs. The lack of dash in the interference, due in part to the absence of Daly, and in part to the irregularity of the backs in starting, was a fault which can be corrected only with the use of more care by the backs in taking their positions.

The most noticeable fault developed by the backs was that of starting before the ball. This, of necessity, prevented any concerted action on the part of the whole eleven. While the line-men heretofore have not been getting the start on their opponents, yesterday they showed some improvement in that phase of the game, which...
