This was done early in the season and has proved entirely successful. The development of the line has been steady and consistent, but the back field has been uncertain, and at times slow. The inability to develop reliable halfbacks has made necessary the practice of having line men carry the ball. The tackles, especially Bloomer, have been very successful in line plunging.

Practice in this began very late, and has been greatly retarded by the constant changes in the back field due to injuries received by the regular players. As yet the men are uncertain about the signals, start slowly and form ragged and loose interference...
