Reid played a poor game at fullback. He went into the line without any dash, and failed to gain at all. Ellis was greatly superior to him. An injury to Hollingsworth's shoulder necessitates an important change in the line-up for Saturday's game. Merriman was tried yesterday at left guard, a position he will probably fill in the Carlisle game...
...Emmons; tackles--R. B. Ogilby, E. T. Metcalf, C. C. Rumsey, T. B. Pettit; ends--R. D. Pruyn, H. Locke; H. Burgess; quarterbacks--J. G. Willis, J. W. Stedman, E. B. Blakeley, B. Wendell; halfbacks--W. F. Chase, H. J. Wiswell, M. H. Birckhead, J. G. Cole; fullback--C. T. Lovering...

...completely outclassed Swain in Thursday's practice, was tried at right tackle on the first eleven in Lawrence's place. He is a valuable man on the defense and has an aggressive style of play. The success of Sawin at left half necessitated the playing of Warren at fullback. All these changes and the presence of a weak left end, degenerated the offensive play of the first eleven to such an extent that only one touchdown was scored. The soft ground and the slippery ball also aided the second eleven by breaking up the interference of the first and eliminating...
