...work of the team consisted of hard signal practice and the usual line-up against the second. Every effort was made to put dash into the play, and to develop the team work and interference. The results of these efforts appeared in the scoring of the second touchdown by Reid, when all the gains were made by well-executed plays into the line.

The offense has only recently been taken up in a systematic manner and it is consequently still ineffective. The backs run slowly and interfere high and the linemen fail to open holes cleanly and at the proper time. The plays are slow and loose and lack the force which would exist if every...
