McCall paid a deep tribute to the manner in which Colonel Higginson served his fellow men; he enlisted for life in the public service with no thought for himself but with simple devotion and consecration to those causes which his clear vision knew to be right.

Field shone in defensive work, and smothered practically every play that broke through the primary defence. The offensive playing of Kistler was accurate and several times he got through the line, running directly behind Field, his interference. Captain Daly showed speed on end runs and was keen to size...
