...have now had their second season's test, and the result has been tremendously gratifying to all their adherents. Those who still maintain that the former game was the better find very little support, either from the players or the onlookers, and the criticism that is heard is so slight that it is distinctly negligible. It is quite remarkable that such is the case, and still more so that the Rules Committee should have been able to make such sweeping changes in the game with so few mistakes, and these only minor in effect. Naturally every one is not agreed...
...absence of Captain I. S. Broun, who has received an injury which will keep him out of the game for the remainder of the year. He wrenched his knee during a practice game before the holidays, and it was thought at first that the injury was only slight.

...Newhall's work was exceptionally good. In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent.

Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded all expectations. In previous games he had been slow in sizing up the plays of opposing teams...
Every player is in fine physical condition, and except for Newhall and Starr, whose injuries are now but slight, none are suffering from any ill effects of the Dartmouth game...
