...defeated 17 to 0. With seven of last year's men in today's line-up Amherst should play a good game. Captain Madden at left end is an excellent drop-kicker and is depended on to score a goal from the field if his team can carry the ball within striking distance. Amherst has played three games this year. In the first, Springfield Training School was surprised with a defeat, 3 to 0. Next Wesleyan played a 0 to 0 tie, and then, last Saturday, Trinity startled her by winning out, 13 to 0. The team...
...team last year lost to the Training School, and it is expected that this game, coming so early in the schedule, will be a hard one.

Then the substitute eleven took the place of the first team and, starting at the middle of the field, tore through the second team line for a score in three minutes.

After this show of spirit, the substitutes seemed to be unable to renew the attack and both teams turned to the punting game. At this point the coaches broke into the play at intervals to correct minor defects in the individual work. T. H. Frothingham attempted two drop kicks when the substitutes approached their...
...beginning of the scrimmage the University team was given the ball in the middle of the field, and after five minutes of play, scored a touchdown on an end-around play by Smith from the 20-yard line...
