...marked tendency of the backs to start before the ball was put in play. This weakness, which may have been partly due to the absence of the regular quarter, delayed the play and probably reduced the final score. Hallowell played a good game at quarter, running especially well on the kick-offs, but he relied too much upon the centre plays during the first half. Though Pennsylvania's centre was very weak, the tackle and guard plays did not gain so much as did the end plays in the second half. In this half assisted by the strong west wind...
...from touchdowns and though six of the goals were against a stiff breeze, he succeeded in kicking eight out of nine. Lawrence, Peyton, Talbot and Brayton made long gains through Pennsylvania's centre on tackle and guard plays; Brayton in particular played a fine game on the defensive as well as the offensive. At centre, Kasson played a brilliant game and in running down the field on kicks frequently tackled the runner before the ends.

Yet we take the liberty to doubt seriously whether one in ten of the opinions so confidently expressed are based on any intimate knowledge of the doings of one of the teams, to say nothing of the other. There is noticeable, on the other hand, among those whose technical knowledge of football and careful observation of both teams, make them really competent critics, a marked degree of modesty, a reluctance to commit themselves as to the outcome. Indeed as the day draws nearer it becomes more...
...three days in its present make up. Higginson, stroke, is new to the position but is snappy and lively in his style. Heath, 3, is rowing much better than last year, and both Fitzgerald and Pierce are doing good work. The crew is quite unsteady but may stroke together well in the race...
