Middlesex used the short forward pass and the onside kick to good advantage, and practically all their gains were made by these plays. The score was made by Trumbull who intercepted a forward pass on Middlesex's 40-yard line, and with a clear field before him carried the ball 70 yards for a touchdown. The second half was largely a punting duel between Paine and Hoffstodt, in which the latter out-kicked the former by a large margin...

The practice was very encouraging, the first team scoring twice on the second, and three times on the 1911 team.

Honhart punted to the 30-yard line and the ball was rushed down again, Burr kicking a goal from placement after the backs had been held for two downs. There was no further scoring and time...
