...Senior team was the heavier and played a fast and aggressive game. Burns, as fullback, made the two touchdowns and kicked the one goal. The Sophomores showed lack of practice, but Allen, as centre, and the men in the backfield did excellent work...

Foster showed great improvement in handling punts and Lockwood, who was the only back to hold his position during the entire game, was the best man to gain on open plays. Gray, who played fullback in the first half, made two good...
