...great was the respect for his judgment and position that but few of the larger libraries of the country have not at some time sought his advice and profited by his counsel always freely given to those who asked it. In his death we have lost 'a master and a friend...
...forwards were all strong on the defense. They showed, however, as before stated, the unfortunate tendency for off-side play, Swain, and Mills especially, erred most often in this respect. Excepting this fault, Swain played a strong game. He broke up Cornell's mass plays well and tackled for frequent losses. Shaw and Boal both played steadily. Boal, as a groundgainer, was used with telling effect. He was always sure of a gain. His worst fault is that he still runs too high. Doucette played his usual brilliant game at centre, following the ball with great precision and was always...

'99 played very much better in this respect, but was weak in her center plays. In the first half the team was run badly, particularly in not taking advantage of the wind and sending the plays against ninety-eight's centre, which was her strongest point. For '99, W.

Swain and Mills did good work in the line. Swain was used to great advantage as a ground gainer; he was active in breaking through and opened large holes for his backs. His playing throughout was very aggressive and sharp, and was by far the best work done by the first eleven. Sawin made several good runs...
