...score of 20 to 11. The game was exceptionally fast, but was inclined to be rough, especially towards the end, when considerable tripping was indulged in by both teams. In the absence of Fish Browne was shifted to centre and S. Brown took the latter's position at left guard. The University team showed much improvement in its style of play over the earlier games and maintained a safe lead after the first few minutes of play.

Brooks at right guard is very fast and carries the ball down the floor well, but has a tendency to play too open a game, to leave his men uncovered and not to pass enough. Almy, left guard, covers well and is strong on the defense, but his offensive work is a little weak. Browne, the centre, has the necessary speed but lacks experience.
