...line, however, played without particular merit. Lawrence was as aggressive as usual, but often totally ineffective. In addition to his old habit of getting off side, he was boxed again and again by S. Dodds. L. Motley, who replaced Gray in the second half, tackled low and hard, and defended his position very well...
...back-field played a sharp and fast game. Fincke ran the team with discretion, tackled hard and was a useful man in the interference. Kendall; individually, was strong, but was of little service as an interferer. As Gierasch has strained a ligament in his leg, Parker played throughout the game. In spite of his light weight, he again proved his strength as a halfback. Ellis took Kendall's place in the second half, and, by carefully following his interference, made several long runs. He also made consistent gains on line plunges...
Professor Pierce spoke of the great advantages the Graduate School possesses in having, as its students, men who come with the predominant and absorbing idea of hard work.

The old feeling has been supplanted by a rivalry that is most friendly...

Not till the last part of the practice, did the 'Varsity, giving up punting, actually score. Behind excellent interference, Gierasch cleared Gray's end for a twenty-yard run to the line. A minute later, Warren, who fell into dive plays with his old-time vim, scored the second touchdown. Lawrence's goal from the field resulted soon afterwards from Fincke's fair catch on the thirty-yard line...
