...Andover, against the Phillips Academy Eleven. The game was very close during the first "three-quarters," '82 getting one touch-down through good passing and a fine rush by Crehore. In the next "three-quarters," Crehore and Manning each secured two touch-downs; and from one of them a goal was kicked.

As to trophies, the balls used at the match-games were not satisfactory for exhibition; and he therefore proposed a prize-flag for every game. After some discussion, it was recommended that three touch-downs should equal a goal, and that four touch-downs should win over a goal, but that a touch-down from which a goal was kicked should not count separately.
