...plan there was again a scrimmage yesterday afternoon and the defense made a strong showing. The second team was given the ball three times on the 15-yard line and every time was met by a solid resistance against which it was impossible to gain. The offense was also stronger, the men starting fast and together. The interference was more effective and the team play was noticeably better than at any time since the week before the Pennsylvania game. In the 13-minute scrimmage the first eleven made two touchdowns by hard rushing and consistent gains. Later the substitutes also...

...slow on punts, but Leary played a very steady game, and Knowlton, although showing lack of experience, was strong on the offense. The offensive work of the Dartmouth backs, notably Rich and Herr, was evidence of the advantage which team play gives against a heavier eleven, or one with stronger individual men. R. Glaze was Dartmouth's most brilliant player and besides being a remarkably fast end, he was used effectively in carrying the ball. DeAngelis, left end, also was fast in getting down the field. Gage's work on the kickoffs was phenomenal...

...game he was taken out and replaced by Nichols. Lockwood proved fast on the offense and once outran Stevenson and threw him on an end run. He received a hard blow on the elbow in the second half and Guild, who took his place, proved stronger on the defense. Starr ran the plays off fast, and as usual was a great help to the runner, but his judgment was in two or three cases rather questionable. His work in the backfield was very good, especially as the opposing ends were waiting to down him after nearly every punt...
