After Brown had scored, and throughout the second half, the men took a decided brace. The line then held well together, and the backs ran with something like interference...
Where Brown gained most was through the tackles. Neither Gould nor Hallowell could stop the steady, repeated hammering of the Brown backs, although Hallowell made some brilliant tackles.

The poetry of the number is not above the average...
