...ball at a critical time. The game also showed that while the defensive work of the line was admirable, the ends were very weak. As the Harvard interference is undeniably strong, this weakness on West Point's part may mean a large score. Jackson, however, West Point's new fullback, seems to be a worthy successor of Romeyn in punting...
...half-backs except Gierasch were given chances to play. Warren at fullback and Sawin at quarter are of course only temporary changes, because of slight injuries to the substitutes for those positions. Parker played with much spirit throughout the game and bucked the line with his usual fierceness. In the last five minutes he gave way to Brayton, who is little slow for a half-back.

In the punting practice before the line up, however, his back...

His attendance, however, at the Yale Medical School, presupposes that at any rate he will be with the 'varsity throughout the season. His efforts will soon be powerfully seconded by Thorne, the '96 captain, by Murphy, the '97 captain, and by Butterworth, the '95 fullback. James Robinson, who has long been engaged in athletic work, will have charge of the training of the eleven...
