...last Saturday who was in any way prepared for the poor exhibition given by our team. Weight gave us the game it is true, but there is not a shadow of a doubt that in point of skill, in passing and kicking, we were fairly out-played.

Henry then made a touchdown, but no goal was scored. Mason scored the first goal from the field immediately after.
