That the University team was able to do no better work on the offense was partly due to Noyes' generalship and inaccurate passing. Nicho s did the best work in advancing the ball, and in addition to his long run for a touchdown made several substantial gains around right end. Hanley also did creditable work in line-bucking and hurdling. He was steady on his feet, and several times hurdled the line for fair gains. Robinson was put in at left guard in the second half and proved very effective in stopping the plays through his side of the line...
Metcalf, quarterback, has shown ability in catching and running back punts, but on the offensive he passes poorly and lacks generalship in directing plays. As a drop kicker, he is uncertain, and does not get distance into his kicks...
...ends and rush-line halfbacks to stop simple end runs. That this was the first game of the season is not a sufficient excuse for such miserable playing as that which allowed a not over-strong backfield, with practically no interference, to pass the ends almost at will. The generalship of the team was also poor. Against opponents so unskilled in handling punts, a kicking game might have been adopted to much greater advantage...
...player but is hardly capable of maintaining his predecessor's standard. Holt at centre passes well and uses good judgment. He was substitute to Olcott last year. DeSaulles at quarterback has become a brilliant player, and is especially effective in receiving and running back punts. He also displays considerable generalship in directing plays. Of last year's backs Chadwick alone remains, and is playing a very consistent game at right half back. His end running, and that of Hart, the other halfback, is admirable, and he is very effective in bucking the line. Weymouth, the fullback, is, however, the best...
