...University chose to take the affensive in the first quarter. Murray ran back Armstrong's kick-off to his 25-yard mark. Two five-yard gains by Casey and Humphrey were followed by a Bruin off-side penalty. R. Horween and Casey carried the ball to midfield, whence Casey reeled off an 18-yard run to the 32-yard mark. At this point Emery, the heaviest and most powerful Bruin, was hurt, being replaced by Shupert...
...minutes later Horween plunged through center for two before Casey tore around the left end nine yards to first down. Again Horween drove ahead five before the ball was given to Casey, who reached the two-yard line. Once the Brown line hurled Horween back, but the second plunge carried him over the line. After the punt-out Horween kicked the goal...
