...followed, one minute later by the first hound, Bowen, '87. The second hound in was Marquand, '89. It will be seen that the hounds won, but probably by a slight irregularity, for, noticing that the hares occasionally left the road and soon returned to it, the former kept along the road and so gained a long distance on them. According to rule, the hares should have been in thirty minutes before the hounds...
...without success. Burnett was equally unlucky. Adams proved to be the lucky man, securing a touch-down right between the goal posts. The ball was brought out and Kimball kicked a goal, making the score 11 to 6 in favor of '86. This ended the scoring, though '86 kept forcing the game for the rest of the time. Burnett and Adams each made superb runs, both of which were of no avail on account of previous foul...

Soon, however, the ball was in '88's territory, but in an instant it was in Porter's hands, who made the longest rush of the game, nearly half the length of the field. During the next ten minutes the ball was kept in the middle of the field. Gradually it was forced towards '88's goal, and for a few minutes there was sharp playing on both sides.

...every man on the other side was laying for him, he made some remarkably plucky and brilliant rushes. Crocker, Woodman, and Hallowell played well. For '87, Fletcher did the most effective work; his dodging and rushing were marvellous, and the rush line finely supported him. Willard's long kicks kept the ball from the '87 goal. Peabody played a faultless game, and Keyes, Faulkner and Fiske did good work in the rush line...
