...difficult to detect a single redeeming feature in the playing of the University eleven on Saturday. With only a week before the game for which the entire season is preparatory, there still remain several fundamentals of football to be learned by the players. After the first two minutes, the team did not pretend to play hard football. Of course the wet ball and the slippery field excused many faults, but the team has overcome these difficulties in other games. The game Saturday showed a reaction, perhaps a slump...

Ward and Davis were a shade the better in team-play, but this was more than over-balanced by the greater steadiness of their opponents. Last year Whitman and Marvin beat, Ward and Davis, the challengers, in three out of four sets...
