Yesterday morning the freshman eleven played with the Gentlemen of Jamaica Plain and won 34 to 0. Ninety had the kick-off, and gradualty worked the ball towards the Jamaicas' goal, where a touch-down was made by Slocum, after a good rush by Hunnewell, in 8 minutes. Crane kicked the goal. By a long kick the ball was sent almost to Ninety's goal, but good rushing forced it towards the Jamaicas' goal, where Crane made a touch-down and kicked the goal. Wendell soon after hurt his knee and Atkinson took his place. No more points were made...
Promptly on time the two elevens lined up, the seniors having the western goal and the kick-off, and being materially aided by a half-gale of wind. Rushes by Churchill and Woodbury brought the ball to the sophomores' 10 yard line, and Austin twice tried for goals from the field, only to be baffled by the slippery leather of the ball. After some lively playing Austin made a daring rush over the slimy ground and was forced outside nearly upon the five yard line. The ball was brought out fifteen yards, and snapped back to Fiske, who sent...
...back he passed it to Watkinson, who made a remarkably neat goal from the field his position being far to one side of the goal posts. Having thus scored the first point in the game, Yale's players were manifestly encouraged, and were doing good work after the new kick-off, when "time" was called, and the first half was at an end. Score, Yale, 5; Princeton...
...stopping every attempt of the half-backs to run or kick. Good rushes by Fiske and Burnett carried the ball down close to '87's goal. The seniors tried to force the ball over the line by means of first one and then another of the rush line, but to no purpose, for the '87 rush line effectually quenched such attempts. After '86 had three downs, all within the tenyard line, without accomplishing anything, the ball was passed back to Fiske, who kicked a goal from the field. From the kick-off at the middle of the field, the ball...
...down towards the freshmen's goal, and soon eighty-six had the ball down right under eighty-nines' goal posts. Fisk tried for a goal from the field, but he failed to estimate the power of the wind properly, and the attempt was unsuccessful. This gave the freshmen the kick-off at the twenty-five yard line. The ball was given to Morse, who carried it well down to the middle of the field, and then passed it to Scott, who carried it past everybody, right down to eighty-six's line, making the first and only point for eighty...
