...Freshmen carried the ball to the Worcester two-yard line soon after the start of the game. Worcester held for downs, then punted, and the Freshmen began their attack from the 25-yard line. The first score came after a few plays on a forward pass, T. C. Wales to G. C. Lee. Faxon failed to kick the goal. After Worcester's kick-off Humphrey gained 35 yards around the end and MacDonnell in two plays took the ball to the five-yard line as the first period ended...
...Freshman teams yesterday to try to get better team-work in both elevens. For the first five minutes the Freshmen could not stop the informals' line plays, and the ball was rushed chiefly by A. Horween '20 from the University 25-yard line to the Freshman 30-yard mark. An incsompleted forward pass and a five-yard loss on a quarterback run gave the ball to the Freshman team. Both sides now began a kicking game in which R. C. Humphrey '21 excelled the University kickers. Two punts by the informals, the first going outside after a short distance...

Cannon, who played end for the Cadets, fell on the ball on the five-yard line, and Snow went over for a touchdown on the next play. R. Hadley...
...touchdown that won the game. This lone score came after the Colgate halfback, Hubbell, had been so hurried in his punting that he had been unable to kick the ball accurately, and it went outside on his 20-yard line. Yale gained ten yards, and when Colgate was penalized for being off-side, the ball was on the five-yard line. Colgate held for three downs, but on the fourth Neville sent a pretty pass to Legore who crossed the line. Comerford kicked the goal...
