...start to finish, and Leary's work at end was very promising. The team as a whole showed fight, and played will on the defensive. Their offense, however, was not all that might have been expected against a lighter team. The line made good openings, but the backs, though brilliant in individual play, were frequently too slow in starting to profit by the work of the forwards, and often failed to give sufficient support to the runner.

The team lost two games to Holy Cross by scores of 9 to 3 and 6 to 2, respectively, but it should be noted that in the first, Amherst made eight hits and Holy Cross ten, and in the second, each...
