...past week. One touchdown was made by the University team by straight plays from the 25 yard line. Foster was tried on the first eleven, and ran well, although on the defense he failed to get into the plays quickly. The plays were run off with more snap but the backs were slow at times and the whole team was unsteady...
...usual, the punting practice was conspicuous for fumbling and misjudging distances. Only one or two balls were caught fairly on the fly. The backs were drilled separately in starting with the snap of the ball and in forming quickly a compact interference. A large squad of former players helped coach the men. Among them were: J.

...line-up between the first and second elevens brought out poor football. The first team backs showed some ability to gain on tackle plays, but, as a rule, were too slow in starting and fumbled frequently. The line failed to open holes and to get into each play with snap and vigor. Neither team did effective work. The line-ups: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Burgess, l.e. r.e., Crocker. Wright, l.t. r.t., Frantz. Hovey, l.g. r.g., Wilder. King, c. c. Carrick. Force, r.g. l.g., Lehmann. Knowlton, r.t. l.t., Oveson. Bowditch, r.e., l.e., J. T. Jones. Marshall, q.b. q.b., Noyes.
