...playing of the first eleven was much the same as in the Bowdoin game. The backs could gain fairly well around the ends, but could make only short distances through the line. This was due partly to the slow starting of the runners and partly to the failure of the linemen to keep the holes open. The defensive work was better, and the second eleven was unable to gain any ground whatever. There was some improvement in running back the kick-offs, as the interference formed quickly and the runners stuck to it well. The entire team was considerably affected...
...backs. He endured the hard work well and was not exhausted. J. Lawrence did not watch the ball carefully, and allowed Swann to run twenty-five yards on an old-fashioned fake kick. He stopped the second attempt at the same play for a loss. Ristine, who has just gained permission from the Faculty to play, went in at right end on the first eleven for a few minutes, but had not opportunity to show his ability. Farley, whom he relieved, was slow and did not get into the plays well. Campbell, on the other end, played a very aggressive...
...each. The first eleven was decidedly superior on the offensive, but did not score until the very end of the second half. This small score does not, however, give a correct idea of the game; for the second team had possession of the ball only twice and did not gain a yard by rushing. The first eleven on the other hand, gained almost at will, and was never far from the goal line. In the first half the ball was carried twice to the ten-yard line, only to be lost on fumbles, and in the second half also, Daly...
...regular team, which played in the first half, showed a decided improvement in line-bucking, but the end running was a complete failure. Not a single gain was made around either end, as the interference was never allowed to form. The substitute team in the second half played very poorly. The line was constantly over anxious, losing 30 yards on off-side play, and had no stability in either attack or defense. The backs, handicapped by the weakness of the line, had little chance to gain, and lost what opportunities they did have by slow starting...
...opposing line and were fairly aggressive on the defense. Graydon and I. Kendall were valuable in line plays, but were slow in starting, and Graydon was several times uncertain about the signals. In the second half, Hollingsworth and R. Lawrence were continually off-side, and allowed Williams to gain twenty or thirty yards on revolving tackle plays. Whitwell was also over anxious, but was stronger on the defense...
