...elevens lined up for 35 minutes in all, during which time the 'Varsity scored four times, and the second once on a place goal from a fair catch by Maguire. Sullivan played the best game of the backs, and really showed his best form of the year. His running was hard and he hit the line with a great deal of force. Shaw and Wheeler both forced the weaker second line for large holes, while Boal proved particularly effective in gaining ground...
Dibblee has done very good work and improved from first to last. His dodging is a feature and he seems safe to catch kicks and hold the ball while running.

Ellis and Kendall both ran well, and it seems to be an open question as to whether it would not be advisable to try some of these backs on the 'Varsity squad...
