...from gaining. After an exchange of punts, Sawin caught the ball on his own thirty-yard line and, eluding the second eleven's ends, ran eighty yards for a touchdown. In the remainder of the half the first eleven again pushed the ball the length of the field by short rushes. During the next half the first eleven, with substitute backs, scored twice. On the few occasions when the second had the ball, they lost it on downs or by fumbles. Hurley was the only man on the second who played with any considerable dash...

While the line-men heretofore have not been getting the start on their opponents, yesterday they showed some...

Although there is still a scarcity of centre men, which is increased temporarily by a few minor injuries to players, the number of candidates has been fair. During all of the short practice yesterday the men played a fierce, snappy game which is very encouraging...
