...game yesterday afternoon was played on a slippery field and in a driving rain, but the eleven did better work than it has for some time. The greatest improvement is noticeable in the work of the rush line; the men went at Wesleyan's heavy rushers in a an aggressive way that settled how the game was going from the start.
