...their opponents' goal, as the ball went rapidly down the field, and Rankin, who played in the rush line during the first three-quarters, scored the first touch-down for eighty-six way off at one side of the field. The ball was punted out, but no free catch was obtained, and Adams securing the ball scored touch-down number two. This was again punted out and a fine catch made, but Fisk failed to kick a goal. The ball then stayed for a little while about eighty-nine's twenty-five yard line, all attempt to get it further...
...field, and as eighty-nine had no more substitutes ready, they finished the game with only six rushers. The ball was kicked out, and after a little skirmishing, Fisk got started and outrunning everybody, made a touch-down.

...half backs, Perkins and Scott, both tackle well, Scott especially so, getting his man around the waist nearly every time. Their kicking is rather below the average of freshman half backs. Their great fault is their seeming inability to catch the ball. It is rather the exception than the rule when they catch a ball kicked over by the opposite half backs. This is a very serious fault, and one which is perfectly inexcusable, as it can be overcome by constant practice. Perry has been playing full back. His catching is poor, and his tackling only fair. He may improve...
