...left end and broke through the line for thirty yards, but he was slow in starting in the interference and did not gain consistently in line plays. Kernan and 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...
...right end in the second half, and throughout the game his line bucking was successful, although he had an inclination to leave his interference. Graydon hit the line effectively and found the holes accurately, but could not keep his feet after getting through. Ellis, although not up to his form of last year, was a good ground gainer.

Daly and Fincke ran the team with good judgment and made the play faster than heretofore...

...best individual work was that of Ellis, who took part in the actual playing for the first time this year. He struck the line with his usual speed and power, and was always valuable in the interference. Sawin also seemed to have regained his last year's form. He ran well in the open field and followed his interference to good advantage on several occasions. Kernan, in spite of his faltering after striking the line, found the holes well and made several gains. He scored the only touchdown by a fifteen yard plunge through the centre of the line. Graydon...
