...game started with 1901 in possession of the ball. A strong wind was blowing directly against the Freshmen and prevented them from gaining ground on punts as '99 often did. Hallowell kicked off and '99 returned the punt. Again 1901 kicked but failed to gain ground and the ball was almost on 1901's line. In the next play Jaynes got the ball but was forced back and downed behind his own goal. This safety was made within two minutes of start of play. On the next start Jaynes fumbled badly and 1901 seemed to be thoroughly demoralized. '99 broke...
...beginning of the second half '99 kicked off and 1901 started in by making several good gains. Jaynes was especially good at advancing the ball; 1901 rushed it to '99's 12 yard line only to lose it on a fumble. At first, '99 was unable to break through the Freshman line, but Macomber when given the ball made a substantial gain. '99 kicked but 1901 blocked it and started in on guards back plays. The Freshmen broke through the line and Jaynes scored their first touchdown. Hallowell failed to kick the goal. A few moments after the next line...
Bouve protected his territory strongly, and in rushing with the ball plunged through the second's line again and again for good gains. The running of the backs in general lacked method and head-work. This was undoubtedly caused to some extent by the unfavorable conditions of rain and a slippery field which made footing uncertain and dodging next to an impossibility. Sawin's punting was fairly good, the particular merit being that he got his kicks off quickly. His running was strong, but he availed himself little of large openings through which he might have made larger gains. Both...
...previously this year. They also started quicker and ran with more precision, all of which favorably commends the system of devoting much time to signal practice, which has been so minutely carried out lately. Dibblee's work was little short of phenomenal, as he was always sure of a gain, making long runs not only with good interference but often alone. His 70 yard run, unprotected, was certainly the feature of the game. Parker also ran strongly for good gains, being particularly noticeable on the defence, however, for an aggressiveness which enabled him to break through and block kicks. Warren...
...especially, erred most often in this respect. Excepting this fault, Swain played a strong game. He broke up Cornell's mass plays well and tackled for frequent losses. Shaw and Boal both played steadily. Boal, as a groundgainer, was used with telling effect. He was always sure of a gain. His worst fault is that he still runs too high. Doucette played his usual brilliant game at centre, following the ball with great precision and was always effective in breaking up centre plays...
