...almost at will through the line, but fumbling and poor interference marred the end running. On account of the Columbia game today, only one fifteen minute period was played. The most encouraging work of the day, beside that of the first team's line, was in the punting and drop-kicking. In the preliminary practice Kernan and Stillman made an average of fifty yards on their punts, and Ellis, who a week ago made no better than twenty-five yards, made an average of forty yesterday. In the game he punted sixty yards twice. Sawin and Kendall did no actual...
...Ellis were unsuccessful at line-plunging because of slow starting. Of the backs Sawin alone was up to his usual form. He made the touchdown on a thirty-five yard run around right end, and did some fairly good punting. The best part of his work, however, was his drop-kicking. Out of seven attempts at goals from the field, he succeeded in making four, three from the twenty-five yard line and one from the thirty-five yard line...
...ball back fifteen yards. The first made two short gains, and then Sawin, with poor interference, got around right end for thirty-five yards and made a touchdown. The teams lined up on the second team's twenty-five yard line, and Sawin was given four trials at drop-kicks. He missed the first two on account of poor passes from the centre. After three exchanges of punts Sawin made his last attempt at a goal from the thirty-five yard line and made it easily...
...latter got around left end for fifty yards before being tackled on the ten-yard line. The second team got the ball on a fumble, and punted to the middle of the field. Sawin then circled right end for twenty-five yards, but failed in an attempt at a drop-kick goal from the thirty-five yard line. The second team again punted to the middle of the field, and Sawin ran it back twenty yards by an exciting dodging run. A series of line plays took the ball to the second's five-yard line, but time was called...
...finally began a steady attack on the line. I. W. Kendall here gained eight yards on a good plunge, but on the play he dislocated his shoulder. Kernan then went in, and he and Graydon soon pushed the ball to the fifteen-yard line. Daly then tried a drop kick for goal from the field, and although the angle was a difficult one, he just missed the post. Soon after this the first team renewed its line attack, and Kernan by a series of plays through the tackles and guards, carried the ball from the thirty-five yard line...
