While the game was considered by the locals and their friends as a practice only, the play ing was sharp and fierce and at times fair imitation of good football was presented. Many new men were tried out by Grinnell and, on the whole, they gave good account of themselves. The work of knapp.last year a guard sub. “ al full back, and of Lyman, new man at end, was especially creditable. The work of Capron, Wheeler. Lindsay and Fellows, though not yet up TO form, was quite satisfactory. Wheeler’s goal kicking, punting and drop kicking was excellent. The feature of the game was a beautiful ninetyyard sprint by Lind say for a touchdown in the first half Capt Burd and Douglas were not in the game on account of injuries.
