...line-up of the University football team.

Several of the men were slightly hurt and were taken out of the game immediately. Consequently, several ends were put in at half-back and bad interference was the result. The line bucking, however, was good, and several brilliant individual plays were made. The men do not yet get low enough, but most of the squad play hard and show good spirit...
