...University team showed up well, playing hard, straight football, with a life and snap that argues well for a successful season. The line defence proved very strong, so that the visitors, after vain attempts to rush their distance, were forced continually to resort to kicking. The secondary defence was also strong, doing such good work that Williams was able to gain first down but three times. In offensive play the University backs, lined up in the tandem formation, worked well together, and rarely failed to gain through the somewhat lighter opposing line...

A conspicuous illustration of its unreliability on the defense was given at the out-set by the success of a trick play by the second, on which Dodge made 20 yards...
Nichols punted for the University eleven and Goodhue for the second. Little resort, however, was had to punting, and both of the two touchdowns scored during the 15-minute line-up were effected by straight football. Hurley made the first, after an end run of 13 yards by Nichols and a series of line plunges of from four to seven yards had carried the ball from the University's 47-yard line nearly to the second's goal line. By a similar series of rushes from the center of the field, the University eleven scored its second touchdown, Mills taking...
