...second-half opened brilliantly for the freshmen who by good rushes of Purdon and Holden forced the ball close to Exeter's goal line, where Porter by a fine rush secured a touch-down nearly behind the goal-posts from which Holden kicked a goal. At this point Exeter began to brace while Eighty-eight on the other hand showed her lack of staying power, especially in the rush line where the men left everything for the backs to do and did not even block their men in any shape. Moulton by a long rush brought the ball near Eighty...
...Port last Monday night. the affair, from a belligerent point of view, was a ridiculous failure. The sentiment in each of the classes was strongly against a rush, and most of the men went home peaceably as soon as the procession disbanded. Some, however, who lingered behind were precipitated into a fray by the bulldozing efforts of certain hilarious upper-classmen.

...kicked from this touchdown. The Quincy men were now decidedly rattled and played in very poor form. They were forced to make a second safety and soon after a third. Hurd now secured the ball and made a beautiful rush through his opponents lines and secured a touchdown directly behind the goal posts. Holden failed to score a goal. A few minutes after Holden by pretty dodging obtained the fourth touchdown and kicked the goal. Quincy now played a sharper game and took advantage of the muffing which the Harvard men indulged in. Just before the close of the first...
