...score of 38-0, the line-men showed a palpable weakness in the defense of punts and their lack of aggressiveness in breaking through. The West Point game, won by the score of 10-0, was characteristic of fumbling and ragged defence, while once more Harvard's backs proved inferior to those of their opponents.

The second half was slower owing in part to the retirement of several of the best...
