...Cutts had no difficulty in opening holes when called upon, and carried the ball with strength and intelligence. He was quicker in starting and kept his feet longer than usually. He interfered in good style. Bowditch played a brilliant game in all but one particular. He was slow in getting down the field on kicks, but though he did not tackle the player who caught the ball, succeeded in turning him in. Bowditch was very valuable in helping the runner along, and succeeded in adding materially to the ground gained. Campbell was also slow in getting down on kicks...
...showed themselves superior in every department of the game, in spite of their ragged playing. Their interference formed loosely, started slowly and aided the runner little. The runners failed to charge at the line with any force and did not keep their feet. The failure of the ends to get down under punts quickly was perhaps partly due to the repeated holding by their opponents. There was a great deal of fumbling and off-side play on both sides...
...centre and quarterback, and though this resulted in penalties for interference, it irritated both Sargent and Marshall and disorganized the interference. Although Lawrence did not play long enough to show his endurance, he did some fast defensive work. Unsteadiness on the offense was his worst fault. Burgess hesitated to get into the plays, but did not allow gains around his end. Marshall ran the team very sensibly, although slow in getting the plays off. His fumbling was costly and inexcusable. He passed the ball well until the end of the second half when an injury to his neck made...
Campbell is playing better than last year, and his responsibilities as captain have not interfered with his development. He is the first man to get down the field on kicks, but still has the fault of overrunning his man. In interfering for a runner and in breaking up plays his work is excellent. Bowditch has been behind the other players in his development, owing to his injury early in the season, but is now getting into form. Cutts is playing a hard and spirited game and has shown considerable improvement in his playing. He is still a little slow...
...size gives a good account of himself. McCabe, one of the best line men on the team, is filling McCloskey's former position at centre quite satisfactorily. A competent candidate for left end has not yet been found and either Corley, Metzger, Ludes, or Nelson may finally get the place. Gardiner at right end has improved a great deal and can be depended upon to play a strong game. Back of the line, Howard at quarterback, has proved a worthy successor to Graves of last year's eleven. He runs the team with good judgment and is a strong tackler...
