White's line plunging was the feature of the game: in the course of 28 rushes he carried the ball a total of 140 yards; he started fast and continually broke through centre for long gains. MacKay was exceptionally active, blocking a kick and spoiling several plays. Fish, who captained the team in Burr's absence, also played a splendid game. It was in the ends that the line was weak, for although Crowley and Cutting both played brilliantly at times, they were not down on punts and did not tackle hard.

Brown was never formidable in this half, and except for a forward pass of twenty yards was unable to make any progress...
