v School had dropped our punt, making a touch-down. The half ended 14-0 in our favor. Miller received the kick-off in the opening of the second half, making thirty yards before being downed. Jennings then made the most spectacular play of the day, carrying the ball fifty-five yards for a touch-down. The remainder of the half was spent entirely on the defensive, the game ending 20-O in our favor. We thus closed our short season without being scoredi upon. As to the make-up of the team, Jennings and Miller were the only ones with us from last year's team. Jennings at left-half was the particular star of the season. He seldom failed to make large gains, and his tackling and interference could not be surpassed. He again demonstrated his ability as captain of a team. The other half was most ably filled by Miller, whose agressiveness on the offensive even surpassed his defensive work, which was of the highest quality. Burford at full-back played a better offensive than defensive game. His punting materially assisted the team. Harstrom showed fine generalship at the quarter position and promises, with a little more weight, to make good wherever he goes to college. Hoyt and Metcalfe at ends, though inexperienced in those positions, showed the qualities that go to make up good football players. Cheesman and Bramwell, who alternated at left tackle, were to be relied upon when needed. Lehmann at right tackle was the find of the season. His interference was such that the backs could not help gaining through him. He was a tower of strength on the defensive, and will surely make good on his college team. V Curren and Sickel at guards were practically invulnerable, and much of the success of the team 'was due to their ability. Knable at center was good, except on his long passes, and a little experience should make him a valuable asset in the future. 'The loyalty of McGovern, Lawrence and D. Holmes in practice was the kind of spirit which enables the school to turn out winning teams. 43
