...valuable guards of this season's team, and leaves none who have played in a steady or dependable manner this year. Hollingsworth, Barnard and Lee are all of about the same degree of mediocrity. Of the Freshman eleven, the only guard of promise is Graydon, who is a hard rusher and line-bucker...
...other backs played an uneven game. Sawin made a dashing halfback, and gained at will around right end and tackle. But his try for a goal from the field was blocked. Kendall was not so successful as a rusher. He was frequently slow in starting and often allowed Coombs to down him for losses. He was replaced by Warren in the last five minutes on account of a minor injury to his leg. Reid was used in the first half on account of his defensive ability, and was of great assistance in stopping the guards-back play. In spite...

If he does not play Saturday it will be due to some physical disability rather than to any doubt as to the excellence of his play. Boal is a fierce rusher and plays a strong and aggressive game, but one not entirely safe on the defensive. Doucette has his own way of playing and does much to vindicate it. He is steady, knows the game, and plays it for all it is worth. He is always on the ball and helps...
