...University eleven last Saturday was not what it should have been, although at times, and especially in the first half, the team showed a semblance of the team play and rushing ability which characterized the Springfield game, and which was entirely lacking in the game with West Point. The linemen, who were rather slow in their work, tackled with some sureness in the close formations, but generally failed to stop the runner in the open field. On the ends Brown had a great advantage, for Kennard and Macdonald were too slow in getting down the field under punts and were...

Burr kicked all four goals from touchdowns for the University team, and Adams kicked the one for the second eleven...
...rain which fell continuously throughout both halves, the backfield played with a snap and vigor that carried the Bucknell team off its feet. Around the ends and through the line they went with equal case, and this continued when the entire second string of backs had gone in. The linemen played low and hard, and put up such a strong defense that Bucknell could not once gain a first down...
