...Coach Wachter's men put up a game fight throughout the contest and several times took the lead, but weak defensive play on the part of the center and forwards and hurried passing allowed the Kentuckians to go to the fore. An injury to Tyson, who was playing center for the Crimson, at the critical time was a severe setback for the University team and a few minutes before the end of the second period the Centre team regained its five-point lead which it held...
...reputation for clean play and sportsmanship that earned them a lasting welcome at Harvard. Now the wearers of the White and Gold again invade a northern field of sport; they bring a winning combination, a veteran team.

Feiring and Chase compose the defense, although the former needs practice to bring him to the level of the others. As a whole, the team has improved remarkably in team work and spirit, even considering...
