...second elevens yesterday afternoon in which the defense received particular attention. The ball was not put in play by kicking off, but was given to each team alternately near its opponent's goal line. The onside kick and forward pass were tried only a few times and with poor success. Line plays were resorted to almost exclusively and some good gains were made through the second's line with Wendell carrying the ball...

Apollonio was the mainstay of the first team's offense, and, although seldom called upon, never failed to make substantial gains in line plunges...
