...check rather than a help to the runner. The defense however, showed improvement; but; although no gains were made through the line, the ends were several times boxed for long gains, and the whole team had a tendency to off-side play. Nichols played a fast, steady game, making three touchdowns on end runs, and showing up well on the defense. Hodges's punting and goal-kicking, and Whitman's work in running down under punts were also good...

Neal, the leading candidate for this position until his injury in the Wesleyan game, is again in condition...
