...limited to drop kicks, two being tried by the informal, and one by the Army team. Line plunging without material gain made the total yards rushed by both sides small. The informal, however, gained nearly three times as much ground as the Depot Brigade, but at critical moments their attack failed. The soldiers showed great strength on the defence, and through the coaching of Capt. C. A. Coolidge '17, end on the 1916 University eleven, were able to solve the typical University formations which the informal used throughout the game...

Hofman '19, was able to made consecutive gains. The advance ended with the failure of L. Crosscup '19, to score a field goal from the 37-yard line.

The first score came after a few plays on a forward pass, T. C. Wales to G. C. Lee. Faxon failed to kick the goal. After Worcester's kick-off Humphrey gained 35 yards around the end and MacDonnell in two plays took the ball to the five-yard line as the first period ended...
