Before its next game with Worcester Academy two weeks later, the squad elected H. H. Faxon of Quincy as captain. Faxon from the first scrimmage had appeared to the coaches as a strong and fast line player, with ability in both drop and place kicking. In the light, inexperienced Worcester eleven, the Freshman team met no opposition. A 53 to 7 score for 1921 was the final result, the Academy making their points against the Freshman substitutes.

The freshmen displayed a good defence, with an erratic offence. As a unit the team exhibited much power. . The line, although weak in several positions, held their opponents' attack, while the backfield proved to be a fast and aggressive aggregation. Fumbling, however, marred the team's play.
