Although the results of the teaching of Brickley are clearly discernible, the punting of the backfield yesterday still left much to be desired...
...string forwards, especially around the centre, where Tierney, though unsteady at passing, was excellent on the offense. The Orange and Blue wings put up a mighty good game, notably Newman, who shared pass after pass for short gains right under the eyes and from the midst of the University backfield. He and Captain Michle, on the other extremity of the line, were down the field, fast under Rinehart's low punts, but had little open-field tackling to do, since the punts were usually driven out of bounds...

...backfield combination of Oden, Faulkner, Shupert and Armstrong for Brown had little trouble in gaining at will and in making the final touchdown which made up the final score. In its line smashing game, Brown ripped Vermont to pieces and only once were they held for downs...
...Freshman backfield, Jenkins lived up to his reputation for dependability, gaining consistently and playing an almost perfect game defensively.

Kornan, who really holds first claim on the pivot position, passed beautifully and blocked in an imposing manner. C. Bradford, his running mate, showed up in much the same light, however, stopping Andover backs behind the line on four occasions. The contest between these two should be close and interesting, though Kernan is the more finished player...
