...will unquestionably be developed this year. The plays calling for quick turns off tackle, operating from a masked thrust, will be improved, and there will be in the latter games one or two novel offensive formations.

In the second half the University team strengthened and play centered around the enemy's goal. The final punch was lacking however, the tries at goal all going wild...
