The striking feature of this game was the clever stopping of many hard shots at the goal. The team did not have a very good attack, nor have they been able to develop one that could be relied upon at any time during the season. Both other preliminary games were won also. Andover was defeated 2 to 0 and Springfield...

Its first failing is in a lack of support, for, with the exception of Sam Dody's dancing and the few songs of Marguerite Farrell, the rest of the work is very mediocre, especially so in contrast with the clever performance of inimitable Lew Fields.

...their 12-yard line, R. Harte '17 recovering for the University. Horween then made 3 yards through centre and on the next play. Casey again crossed the line for a score. Horween kicked the goal. A few minutes later Thacher scored again for the University, following Murray's clever run-back of a punt, a 15-yard penalty against the Aggies for holding and a series of rushes by Horween, Casey and Thacher. Horween again kicked the goal...
