Eighty candidates for the University team, as contrasted with 44 at the same time last year, reported to Coach Winsor and Captain Claflin at the Hemenway Gymnasium. A short drill in goal shooting on the concrete floors of the hand-ball courts was followed by a two-mile jog across country...
...former collegians started the game with a whirlwind march up the field, pushing the ball over for a touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Straight football was productive of gains for both teams, practically no open play being in evidence throughout the contest. Again in the fourth period the heavier team scored on a blocked punt and the subsequent recovery of the ball.

Snow pushed over the second touchdown soon after, but fouled on the kickout, thus losing the try for goal...

Despite this handicap combined with McGill's experience they were able to hold the Canadians scoreless by superior tackling and general defensive work...
