...first score came soon after the opening of the scrimmage, when W. F. Robinson '18, after a fair catch on a short punt from the seconds, put over a beautiful field goal from placement from the 25-yard line. A few minutes later H. C. Flower '19 made the second score for the first team, carrying the ball over from the 15-yard line for a touchdown, while Robinson kicked the goal...
...scrimmage again near the middle of the field. Twice the University eleven tried line plays, and then punted. E. Ginn received the ball for the seconds, running it back to the 45-yard line, where E. H. Ellison '17 punted for the seconds. Another line play and then Flower went back for a punt. But the second team ends broke through, blocking the kick, and recovering the ball on the University's 20-yard line. Four downs, however, found them still with 5 yards to go, and the ball went to the University...
...every one knew that when the went back a run was forthcoming. The great weapon of the kick-formation threat is versatility on the part of the protagonist and the perfect interplay of line and backfield.

Three touchdowns were scored by the University squad, Flower making the first on an intercepted forward pass, and carrying the ball 70 yards down the field for the score, before three minutes of the first period were up. Harte and Likins, who was substituted for him, each made another touchdown within the next twenty minutes, both carrying the ball over from the vicinity of the 30-yard line, on perfectly executed forward passes. During the succeeding fifteen minutes, nearly every man on the squad was sent in for a short time, and then the first line was sent in again...
...Robinson '18, quarterback, who won his "H" last fall, has regained his standing at the college office, and will start the game tomorrow. This backfield combination of Robinson, Bond, Horween and Flower has been working together ever since the first signal practice was held soon after practice began this fall, and they should carry through the plays today without a hitch. Horween has also had much varsity experience, having played in the Princeton and Yale games last fall...
