Reports from Atlanta, however, have it that Centre put up a scrappy fight, but could not seem to set in motion the same brilliant and crashing offense, and the same wonderfully accurate forward passing which was so much in evidence here. McMillin was stopped--and with him went the heart of the Colonels' attack. The star of the Kentuckians' outfit was Tanner, a substitute back in Roberts' position, who did some good punting and shifty running. Montgomery, the big tackle, continued the same sort of slashing play he exhibited here. He is outplaying Weaver this year...
...unusual vigor in protecting its own goal. In this department, too, Gipp has stood out as the most reliable man on the team. On Saturday he gained 124 yards against the Army in straight rushing, 112 in running back punts and returning the ball after kickoff, and his forward passes netted close to 100 yards.

This scrimmage while it lasted only a half hour was exceptionally hard fought and only by a clever forward pass from Johnson to Chapin which went for a thirty yard gain and the single touchdown of the game, were they able to score. For nearly fifteen minutes the play raged back and forth, for a while in favor of the second team, and then after losing the ball on downs, turning to the advantage of team "B". During the afternoon, Stillman showed his ability as a punter by gaining on every exchange of kicks. Although the varsity coaching staff seemed...
...question has again been raised as to the advisability of numbering the players on the football team. Anyone who has watched the Princeton eleven must have noticed how convenient the numbers were; at a glance it was clear who caught the forward or gained on an off tackle run. It was not necessary to wait for the tardy and uncertain services of the score-board...
