The improvement in the work of the eleven as shown by the Wesleyan game is very gratifying. It was the last and by far the best of the practice games and promises well for the success of the team in the championship games. The chief criticism to be made of the playing Saturday has been called forth by every recent game, namely, that it takes much too long for the men to settle down to steady work. During the first twenty minutes there were many fumbles and poor passes, the team work was ragged and ineffective, and there was consequently little scoring. Towards the end of the first half and all through the second half there was more steadiness in the general work and many individual brilliant plays. With a good start the score would have been many points larger. Many more points were lost by great carelessness in regard to off-side and foul playing. The umpire was probably unusually careful, yet it is very important that the rules should be observed for such frequent loss of ground would be disastrious in a game with Yale or Princeton.
