...first, the first eleven scored three times, once on a long run by Dunlop and centre plays, and the other times through Clarke's around-the-end plays, and Waters's dives through the centre. The second scored once, when Collamore secured the ball on Dunlop's fumble, and ran the length of the field. The interference was rather weak in this half, but the defensive work was excellent. In the second half there was decided improvement. The men seemed thoroughly awake and Beale and Wrightington made long gains, aided by fine interference. Three more touchdowns were made, from...
...hour the first eleven failed to score. Two or three times they got the ball down to the ten yard line, only to lose it on four downs. The great trouble with the backs was that they did not get started quickly enough and that, even when started, they ran listlessly. Brewer showed no falling off, but both Waters and Gray were below their usual form. Gray was especially erratic, but Waters even ran back once or twice...
Individually considered, the 'varsity players were clean in their tackling, and quick in breaking through. The backs all ran well and interfered well, except that they were not severe enough. Corbett showed a slight tendency to run back, and once or twice was a little too quick in leaving his blockers, to run inside. Dunlop played unusually well. He runs well, and interferes well as a rule, though he has not played long enough always to take the right man, when blocking...
Long runs were not so common as in earlier games, but all the backs were sure to make some gain, enough to keep the ball. There was one long run, however, that has not been beaten this year. Corbett ran sixty yards and scored. The whole eleven were in this play. Acton, Mackie, Stevenson, Fairchild and Dunlop were especially prominent. And it seems to be the case with the eleven that if the opposing rush line do not break through before they get started, they can make at least 25 yards at a time...
...finely, and almost always succeeded in breaking up the interference of the 'varsity backs. Stevenson guarded his position particularly well, while Parker made Mackie work more than usual, and was in consequence rewarded in the second half by a position on the 'varsity. Lovering tackled in fine style and ran well with the ball...
