...most recent changes in the line. Back of the line the attention of the coaches is directed to the perfecting of formation plays. A tendency of the backs to go too far out on end plays and to break apart on centre plays is the most conspicuous fault. For full-back the candidates now are Skilton and Myers with the chances slightly in Skilton's favor. Philips, who at first was effective in this position, has lately taken a slump. At left half back Pruyn is a strong man with Parker as a substitute. The candidates for right half back...
...second after it had been held for downs. Consequently there was no scoring. The second's guards, especially Grew, ran the ball well, but the right side of the first team broke up most of the plays. In this J. Lawrence was very effective, but his old fault of paying too much attention to his opponent again appeared, Sargent also did much toward strengthening the defense, watching the plays closely and lunging well. Hallowell played an encouraging game at end and seemed to be regaining his form of last season. The halfbacks were very slow on the signals and interfered...
...strong as it was a year ago. Hallowell and Campbell are still below their form and it is some question whether they are not being surpassed by Ristine and Bowditch. Eaton's game at left tackle shows more energy and spirit. Lawrence still has the fault of playing his opponent too hard and not keeping an eye on the ball. In breaking through he fails to throw himself in front of the runner. Lee lacks fight and tends to play too far from centre. Burnett is working well into right guard though he plays high on charging...
...hard fought. Marvin was much steadier than Laverack and although he had fewer clean passes to his credit, he made on the other hand fewer outs and nets. Marvin's service was not a hard as Laverack's but was more accurate and he served only one double fault in the three sets to Laverack's four...
...playing at right guard. He charged vigorously and quickly, followed the ball well and did more than his share in stopping plays. He and J. Lawrence did the only effective offensive work, but J. Lawrence lost a great deal of ground by holding and playing off-side. This fault seems to have a strong hold on him and is spoiling his otherwise brilliant work. On the other side of the line Graydon was a weak spot, and Eaton, who took his place, was also of little use until Donald went in against him and put some life into his playing...
