...getting through and unsuccessful in keeping their feet. The rudimentary points of the game were fairly well mastered by all the men, as the tackling, catching and blocking showed few faults. On the other hand, the team did not show enough dash and fighting spirit. Nor did the men follow the ball accurately, as was plainly evidenced in the failures to recover it after fumbles...
...allowed to keep the ball to give the first team practice in defensive work. Six plays were tried without gain and on the next two, owing to Bowditch's clever tackling, the second team was forced back from the twenty-five to the ten yard line. The line ups follow: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Jones, l.e. r.e., Littig Wright, l.t. r.t., Oveson A.

On end plays this same fault was sometimes noticeable, but more frequently the tendency was not to follow the interference closely enough during the first part of the play; the slow forming of the interference may have invited the backs to branch out in this way for themselves, but even granting this they should not have been so absolutely helpless when left alone. One of the most discouraging...
