...game. Fish often was under a punt before the ends reached the man, McKay opened holes and Fisher and West tackled hard and blocked well. The fumbles, which were still numerous, were caused mainly by excitement and nervousness, as a number of men were in the game for the first time. Bowdoin, though the backs were heavy and fast, was able to make but one first down on straight football, and one on a clever end run by F. Smith...
...centre play, then Corbett made a 37-yard run to Bowdoin's 34-yard line. Houston juggled a forward pass, but recovered it, putting the ball on Bowdoin's 21-yard line. Three line plunges netted fifteen yards, and P. D. Smith smashed through guard for the first touchdown. Withington kicked a pretty goal...

O'Flaherty dropped back to try a drop-kick which missed the goal by a few feet. Bowdoin put the ball in play on the 25-yard line. The first three plays gave Bowdoin a first down. Fish and G. G.

Corbett, Sprague, and Frothingham had a long practice in punting, Sprague sending off some exceptionally long balls. Signal practice was started with O'Flaherty at quarterback on the first squad, and Galatti running the substitutes. Later Coach Daly put Wigglesworth at quarterback on a third set with Rogers and E. V. Long as halfbacks. Long reported yesterday; he has been abroad and has just returned. N. H. Brock '12, a heavy guard, and F. H. Burrage '10, a back, also...
