On the other hand, the second team line was strong and, except toward the end of the period, no substantial gains were made by the University backfield. Gardner, who alternated with Potter at quarterback, ran the team well and succeeded in working three forward passed for a total of 40 yards.

Frothingham, Jr., '12, H. C. Leslie '11, E. P. Pierce, Jr., '12, E. A. Graustein '13, P. L. Wendell '13, and E. P. Graves '13 have shown superior...
