Newhall's work in running the University eleven was excellent, particularly in the second half, when he carried the ball into striking distance by the aid of Burr's repeated punts. Starr, who replaced Macdonald at right end in the second half, played a fast game and was better in every respect than either of the other men who played at end.

After a few short gains Wendell, who was given the ball on the 15-yard line, rushed it through centre for the third and last touchdown. The ball was not caught on Newhall's punt...
