...Haughton '99, of Brookline, full-back, has played tackle for two years, but this is his first year behind the line. He has played on the 'Varsity nine for two years. Age 21, height 6 ft. 1 in., weight...
...full-back Haughton's punting with the wind was excellent. His punts were not only long and well placed, but high enough to enable the ends to get down the field. His rushing lacked impetus and on the whole was only fair...
...backs were even slower than usual in starting; they hit the line too high and with little impetus, while their formation of interference was as poor as that of several weeks ago.

The playing was loose, though fast, the most noticeable fact being a decided falling off in form, on the part of the second. Brown played his poorest game of the season.

At full-back, McBride seems to be almost a fixture...
