...Indian game the University team put up the best fight of the season, winning by the score of 5 to 0. Although Captain Foster was unable to play the secondary defense was very strong. The work of Newhall and Starr in handling the numerous punts in the back field was excellent. Starr's work at end in this game was particularly good. The game with Dartmouth last Saturday, although won by the score of 22 to 9 showed the weakness of the University team substitutes many of whom were played in order not to overwork the better men.

Early in the season with Parker, Burr, Kersburg, Osborne, Peirce, Inches, Macdonald, Orr, and Kennard out as forwards, it became evident that it would be much easier to find linemen than men for the back-field. Captain Foster played at left half until he sprained his ankle about three weeks ago.

Starr, who was outstripped by Newhall for quarterback, is the best of all the ends, being a sure tackler, fast in getting down under punts, and handles forward passes excellently. he adds strength to the back field when the other side is kicking. Orr also makes a good end, for his height gives him an advantage in open plays when the forward pass and the onside kick are used. Of the remaining ends Macdonald is a very valuable man on account of his experience. The injury to his leg has hindered him a great deal, however. Kennard at times plays...
PEQUOT CLUB, MORRIS COVE, CONN., Nov. 23.--The University team-took a two-mile walk this morning to keep the men limbered up. This afternoon at 4 o'clock secret practice was held for the second time in a nearby field, which is enclosed with canvas.
