...tackles and guards on the Freshman team showed great improvement, H. H. Faxon '21, and J. Gaston '21, particularly stopping many plays. H. S. Humphrey '21, and E. A. Stillman '21, in the backfield, made most of the gains. The team's tackling, however, was ragged. L. Crosscup '19, and R. Hoffman '19, were the fastest backs on the informal team. B. S.

He was used only in the first half; in the second, the longest gains were made by R. Hoffman '19, who followed J. G. Coolidge '20 as quarterback. Hoffman made one run of 80 yards from a kick...
