They do not put the ball in play right even in the centre of the field and when the half-backs run the rushers run ahead and interfere with the tacklers.

It was a combination rush by nearly the whole line, in which Gilman's playing was very conspicuous. After a run of more than half the field he secured a touchdown, but the referee called time just before he passed over the line. Praise to any particular players would be out of place for all did equally well. The work of the rushers was surprising fine, and the combination shown in nearly every maneuver promises well for future games. The captain...
