...punting during the scrimmage was rather poor. Kernan, who previously has showed up well in this department, was slow in getting off his kicks and failed to secure distance. The work of handling punts was also unsatisfactory, as several inexcusable fumbles were made. The first team was once penalized for offside play and the second once held for downs...
...line-up, which lasted ten minutes, Means kicked off to Nichols, who ran the ball to the twenty-yard line. The first team then fumbled the ball, but recovered it immediately. After Nichols' punt was caught by Pell on the thirty-yard line, the first team proved slow and ragged on the defensive.

The fielding was deplorably weak throughout the latter part of the game, nine errors being made, all of which were inexcusable. The base-running was equally discouraging, especially in the first inning when Randall was caught between first and second, and later...
