...with them. As a whole the team is in a more or less chaotic state of development, relying on individual work to pull it through contests, both with outside teams and the second. The accession of Bomeisler at end and Camp, who has just reported for work, in the backfield, both experienced men, should be of great help in holding the men together...
...from the material at hand. At a number of practices the second team has kept the ball the entire time, battering away at the first's defence, and the results have been very satisfactory, as during the last week the line has been almost like a stone wall. The backfield, as may be remembered from last year, is exceptionally strong defensively.

Gardner will start at quarterback, where he has had experience for two years on the University eleven.

The first two named succeeded in making long gains, while their team-mate in the backfield, Bradlee, was most useful at interference and charging. Logan at quarterback used a great deal of snap in running the team. Freedley's good work, it can be seen above, was in defending his goal against the long charges of the first team backs. He was spilled once by interference...
