...goal from the field was kicked by Stillman just as time was called at the end of the first half. Had this play been tried a few minutes sooner, the Freshmen would have had five more points to their credit...

On a slippery field and against heavier opponents, the line-men played too high. But they were not responsible for the poor judgement shown in the second half when, with...
