...made through them. Lee broke through once and blocked one of W. R. Lawrence's punts. Graydon was tried at left tackle again, and made a very good showing against Donald '99 who played on the second team for a few minutes. J. Lawrence was not as fast as usual, and barely held his own against his opponent, McGrew. Campbell and Farley were slow in getting down under punts, and they were also unsuccessful in blocking off their opponents...
...first, but deserves great credit for its defensive play. Grew, Roberts and Rainsford played a strong, plucky game in the centre of the line. They stopped almost every play and Ellis alone was able to make any headway through them. Hoxie, Baldwin and McGrew were all very fast on their feet, and did some effective tackling...

The handling of punts was very accurate, the backs making no fumbles and usually succeeding in getting a good start before being downed. The most exciting feature of the game was Amherst's near approach to scoring at the end of the first half, when Morse...
...with all its attendant faults. The offense is being carefully developed at the expense of the defense. Although this plan may result in large scores against weak teams, and consequent over-confidence, its real dangers are apparent in the games in which Pennsylvania plays against a team with a fast offense. The line-men, chosen for their ability to run with the ball, cannot meet a determined attack, as the last two Harvard games have shown. Again, the amount of work on the eleven that Captain Hare attempts, and the practice of giving the signals from his position at guard...
This was all-evident from the practice yesterday. For the first time short halves were played between the four squads into which the candidates have been divided, and fast work insisted on. Although the linemen tackled high and the backs did not follow their interference, the desired dash was in the game. It was only in the centre and guard positions that the playing was below expectations. The experience of the game today will go far to weeding out the elementary faults...
