Good judgment in running the team, more speedy execution of plays, and remarkable ground-gaining ability made Marshall's showing deservedly conspicuous. In addition to his long run for a touchdown, he made several gains on kicks of 30 yards, together with others somewhat shorter. Kernan's fine end running easily surpassed anything he has done previously this year. Graydon continued his excellent work in carrying the ball, but was not as useful on the defense as Meier, who replaced him. Hurley, Knowles and Mason all played well. The positions occupied by Wright and A. Marshall were the weakest points...
...Larneds owing to their superior team play and accurate placing, but Bishop and Lyon soon braced up and by brilliant net play and hard smashing pulled out the next three sets and the match. Lyon was very effective and his overhead smashes and hard ground strokes gained many points. The Larneds lost much of their speed and control in the latter part of the match and their defeat is due largely to this fact...
...Athletic Committee has set aside a portion of Soldiers Field for the use of the team, but, as it is not yet in a condition to be played on, Holmes Field will be used until the new ground has been made ready...
...playing of the University team during the first half was by far the best it has done up to this time, but showed a great lack of development. A new formation in which Mills and Jones were used to advance the ball proved to be the most certain ground-gainer the team has yet had, though owing to the short time it has been practiced it did not work smoothly enough to make possible anything but medium advances. Fumbling again interfered with the playing of the team and the many penalties imposed for holding and similar offences amounted...
...Metcalf and Winslow are being used at quarterback. Metcalf fumbles very rarely and uses good judgment in directing his plays, but at present is in poor physical condition. Both have made some brilliant runs through broken fields in the minor games. Captain Chadwick is the most consistent and reliable ground-gainer on the team, and is playing better than ever before. Hinkle has played left half whenever Chadwick was not in the game. He is perhaps the fastest of the backs, but is weak in defensive work. The candidates for right halfback include Ward, Wilhelmi, Owsley, Soper and Preston. Ward...
