...being blocked. Lawrence did brilliant work in kicking goals from touchdowns and though six of the goals were against a stiff breeze, he succeeded in kicking eight out of nine. Lawrence, Peyton, Talbot and Brayton made long gains through Pennsylvania's centre on tackle and guard plays; Brayton in particular played a fine game on the defensive as well as the offensive. At centre, Kasson played a brilliant game and in running down the field on kicks frequently tackled the runner before the ends. At the ends, Shaw and Whitney played a steady game, though there was a slight tendency...
...minutes, by the score of 18 to 0. The issue of the game was never in doubt and the second eleven seldom failed to make good gains. Although the ground was very slippery, the men succeeded in getting their plays off in clean shape, and Bull in particular distinguished himself by two 40 yard runs around the end. He was very strong on the defensive also, and broke up the interference well. Hoague and Wadsworth played their usual strong game. A. R. Sargent and G. M. Sargent ran very effectively with the ball...
...good gains. The running of the backs in general lacked method and head-work. This was undoubtedly caused to some extent by the unfavorable conditions of rain and a slippery field which made footing uncertain and dodging next to an impossibility.

Both sides fumbled the ball continually, hardly a single punt being safely caught. The second scored once directly through a fumble, when...
...showed her most promising form of the year in the game with Cornell on Saturday, which was won with comparative ease by the score of 24-5. Although scored upon the first time this season, the 'Varsity simply outclassed their opponents in straightforward football, being weak in but one particular, namely, punting. Cornell's score was not the result of any superior strength either in the line or among the backs, but of one of those opportunities which, however unevenly two teams may be matched, are always presented through instances of constantly recurring carelessness. In this particular case it proved...
...defensive, was aggressive enough when rushing was resorted to, to erable their backs to make fair gains. Reid outpunted Warren aided by the wind, and the Freshmen ends were as good if not better than the 'Varsity's in getting down the field on punts. In this particular, Whitney especially excelled. Peyton played a strong game against Haskell, succeeding near the end of the half in opening a large hole through which Kendall staggered 15 yards, for a touchdown. Daly kicked an easy goal and the half ended, without the 'Varsity's having scored...
