...very determined efforts by the whole team, in which the work of the runner was only a secondary element. The longest single gain was made by Mills, when he scored his touchdown on a 13-yard plunge through center. In the second half the 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.

Although the base-running showed some improvement in the Brown and Wesleyan games it is as yet in a very crdue state of development, as was clearly demonstrated in the Cornell game. Throughout the season, the fielding has been the strongest feature of the work, but even...
