Barnard had some difficulty in handling his opponent but nevertheless did valuable service by his aggressiveness and watchful play.

In the line there was more speed and aggressiveness and the men played better together. On the offense, the ground gaining was consistent, but never brilliant. The tackle-back formation was used almost entirely...
