...Though at first the prospects were very encouraging, the work of the team has lately been rather poor. The backs and interference seem slow in starting and do not strike the line with any force. However, the personnel of the team is quite strong and their showing would seem to depend on their success in getting well together in the team play...
...three men ran the last fifty yards neck and neck, finishing within five yards of one another. Burke, who was scratch man in the quarter mile, was unable to get through the crowd until they came into the stretch, and then it was too late to catch the winners, though he finished within ten yards of Clerk...

There was a great confusion of signals by Edmunds and the backs in general, but otherwise the team play was fairly good. Adsit and Talbot played the best game for 1900 and Sargent for Hopkinson...
