...Freshman score was made in the early part of the first period, when H. L. Whitney recovered the ball on Andover's 25-yard line and A. Horween went over for a touchdown. M. Hadley kicked the goal...
...against them for the first time this season. And in this scrimmage the University eleven showed a much stronger offensive and defensive playing power than was evident in the Tufts game a week ago. Provided that the Crimson team can overcome their tendency to fumble and start before the ball, they should have no difficulty in disposing of the North Carolinans...
...University second team played a 0-0 game with Groton yesterday at the latter's field. The ground was slippery and the ball difficult to handle.

Cornell's penalties were so heavy that they lost several touchdowns as a result. As a whole, however, the team's play was satisfactory and gives promise of becoming a strong aggregation later in the season...
