...forward passer, he has few if any equals. In the two games that the Purple has played this fall, he threw a score of forward passes that were caught and only two that were incompleted. It is a common occurrence for him to hurl a spiral pass 30 yards right into the hands of a player running at top speed. Joslyn and Codding, the Williams ends, are experts at catching the pigskin and should prove to be dangerous to the Crimson in an aerial offense.

Mr. Palmer...
...Crimson came near scoring in the second inning, when, after Hallowell had been walked, Frothingham lined a single out to right field, and Conlon reached first as Kibbe threw too late to third, thus filling the bases. Blair, next up, attempted a squeeze play, bunted to Kibbs, but Hallowell was thrown out at the plate...
