...Boston Athletic association eleven defeated Technology on Saturday by a score of 22 to 0. The Technology team was crippled by the loss of three good men, while the Athletic team averaged ten pounds heavier. The Athletics had the kick off and gained twenty yards.

In the first half they scored another touchdown and goal, and were only prevented from making more points by Technology's desperate work. In the second half the Athletics soon secured the ball and after a good run by Morrison...

Only once in the game did Ninety-two have the ball dangerously near Ninety's goal and that...
