...score depends on how much team-play is developed. In general the work of the team has been more effective on the defense than on the offense, and the men have shown ability to break up plays quickly. On the offense the line has been slow and uncertain, while the backs have been erratic in their playing. At times the interference has formed excellently and worked brilliantly, but for the most part it has been ragged. In kicking and getting down under punts the backs and ends have shown great ability. The most serious fault has been the lack...
Campbell is playing a strong game this year, but has taken occasional slumps, as in the West Point game. Clark is active in the defense and takes care of his man well, but is slow in getting down on kicks. Blagden at left tackle is improving, but is still slow. Lee, for the short time he has been out, plays a hard game and gets into the interference well. Sargent is not as active and energetic as he might be. Barnard is strong and works hard, but lacks fight and is slow. Cutts plays bard and runs well, but does...

...line-up, Ristine, Kernan and Putnam did not play and substitutes took their places. The first eleven scored twice through long end runs and gains through the line. Blagden and Cutts were able to open wide holes but neither was able to advance the ball. Cutts was slow in starting and Blagden did not hit the line hard enough. Barnard was effective on the defense. Marshall directed the plays with good judgment, and ran back kicks brilliantly. Derby at times followed his interference well, but most of the time had a tendency to run back. Graydon hit the line well...
...eleven was put through signal practice. This signal practice was gone through slowly at first, to get the men sure of their places in the various plays; but afterward the plays were carried out at full speed. In this work the men played listlessly and unsteadily. The interference was slow in getting together on end runs, and on plays through the line did not keep in good order. In the line-ups against the second eleven, the first, though preventing gains by the second, was unable to score in a fifteen minute half, through fumbling and off side play...
