...very vigorous game, making some superb tackles, and following the ball well, but blocking poorly. On the other end McDonald several times got around Hutchinson. The three centre men broke through well, but at times failed to block hard. Dean at quarter-back played a strong game, using his head well, while Lee showed improvement in holding the ball and tackling. Trafford at fullback played steadily and well all the way through...

...ball ten yards, but it was lost to Ninety in the next play. Crane kicked to Forbes who was prevented from running. White got through the rush line a few yards. In the next play Forbes kicked the ball but it was blocked and bounced back over his head. Ninety here had a fine chance to secure a touchdown but Forbes was too quick for Slocum and secured the ball again, Carpenter and White were unable to gain five yards and the ball was kicked to McLeod. He muffed it but by doing so was able to dodge...

...newspapers, are glad to give credit when and where it is due. It is undeniable that there are mistakes made among us-some of them sadly to be deplored-but we believe that the unprejudiced intelligent opinion of the country places our university where she belongs at the head of American educational institutions.

...round man. Adams, '91; very solidly built, but ignorant of the game. Heyworth, '90 S., has been playing right guard; quick and energetic man but a little light for guard. Heffelfinger, '91 S., will play left guard; he is blocking and rushing well but apt to lose his head and is a little slow. Gill, P. G., is in his old form and at left tackle. Right end is open, and McClintock, '91, and Townsend, '91, are trying for the position. McClintock is the fastest runner on the team but is slow in dropping on the ball. Townsend is fast...

...ball was then advanced towards Ninety-two's goal but a good rush by White and a long kick by Forbes gained twenty yards. Rushes by Moen and Crane brought the ball near Ninety-two's goal. A poor pass by Cheney put the ball over White's head. Forbes then rushed just as time was called. No score was made in the second half. The best work was done by Moen, Crane, Forbes and White but the team work of both sides was poor...
