...first and second elevens played a game of thirty minutes yesterday, the first eleven scoring two touchdowns and the second one. The defensive work of the centre men of the first team was steady, but the slowness of the ends allowed the second team to gain considerably. There was a great deal of fumbling and missing of signals, one fumble resulting in the touchdown for the second team. On the offense the plays were not run off smoothly enough. The interference, however, was good, especially on the end runs, where the first team made most of its gains...
Stillman opened the game with a fifty yard run through a broken, field, but a blocked kick and several gains by the second team kept the first from scoring for several minutes. Finally Kernan made a twenty yard run with Fincke's interference, and Stillman made the touchdown by two centre plays. Burnett kicked the goal. The second touchdown was made by Kernan after Stillman's forty yard run in the open field and Eaton's blocking of a punt. Burnett kicked the goal, making the score 12 to 0. In the second half Donald, Shaw, Doucette, and Bouve went...
...game between the first and second elevens was slow and uninteresting. The first team had no trouble in preventing gains through the line, but by holding, off-side play, fumbles and poor tackling lost every chance of scoring.

The backs had practically no interference for end runs and did not help each other through the line as they should have done. The tackling and open field...
...field, ran seventy yards through the West Point team for a touchdown, and made several other long runs on the kick-offs. Another encouraging feature was the work of Putnam, who was tried for the first time this year. He kept his feet well and made many short gains. Ellis and Kernan, who retired from the game soon after the beginning because of slight injuries, did some strong line bucking. Stillman interfered fairly well, but could gain little himself. The frequent failures of Kendall to gain around the ends were caused by loose and slow interference. The work...
...Lawrence, who took Kernan's place in the second half, failed only once to gain and made several runs of over twenty-five yards. Kernan also made long runs but he hesitated and failed to follow his interference. Kendall showed a bad tendency to run back, which would be very costly against a good team. In the first part of the game Campbell did very poor work and allowed Towne to get around his end several times for substantial gains. Roberts, who took Sargent's place in the second half, played a faster game than usual and stopped some...
