...University second football team easily defeated Fort McKinley, of Portland, Maine, on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon by a score of 27 to 0. The second scored two touchdowns in the first half and made three more in the second. The Maine team was only dangerous at the beginning of the game, when the kick-off was recovered and the ball was carried to the second's 15-yard line in two plays, where it was lost on a fumble. Before the second made the first score, it was held on the 7-yard line for downs. After that the opponents...
...Mermaids defeated the Nymphs in the first of a series of three games to decide the scrub lacrosse championship, on Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon.

Goepper played well at goal for the Mermaids and Gustafson made a pretty run through the Nymph's defence for a goal. Alexander excelled for the Nymphs. The second game of the series will be played Monday afternoon...

After passing the third bridge the University crew began to gain on the second and cut the lead down to about three and one-half lengths of open water, although...
...second crew made a splendid fight in the last three quarters of a mile and was well stroked by Forster. It was not till after hitting the launch that the University crew showed any sort of form and power, but the work of the eight in this last half of the race offset the lack of life and good rowing shown in the first part when the crew was in the wash of the other boats. No time was given...
...second half, 1911 kicked off to 1912, for whom French, in two line bucks, gained 15 yards. A fumble gave the Juniors the ball in mid-field, but, after some good line plunging, they were forced to kick. The 1912 team blocked the kick and recovered the ball on the Juniors' 45-yard line. A forward pass was tried again unsuccessfully and Heath and Foster again gained well on their skin-tackle and line-bucking plays. When at last they were held for downs on 1912's 40-yard line, they stole the ball on the next play...
