...left guard in place of Boal, tried to rush with the ball, but with little success. Although one or two yards were sometimes gained on the play, it was in no sense effective. Campbell and Hallowell, although they played well at times, allowed the second eleven backs to get past them twice for runs of twenty or thirty yards. Except for these runs, the defensive work of the first eleven was perfect...

Two nines play regular games against each other on alternate days, substituting players until each man has been given a chance.

To hold his place, the latter must show some of that improvement, which has characterized Reid's playing. Yet the season is still so early, that there is chance enough through the excellent coaching that is being given...
