...weak points of the team then made their first appearance. Chief among the defects is the lack of fight when the opponents are carrying the ball, which was very conspicuous, in last Saturday's game with Carlisle. The defense, it would seem, is as yet wholly inadequate to withstand a vigorous attack by strong opponents.

During the remainder of the half, the ball was always in Newton's territory. Twice the ball was rushed to the 10-yard line only to be lost on downs. The line-men may deserve some censure for a lack of aggressiveness at such critical stages. Otherwise...
