...Boston College football squad scrimmaged against both the informal University and the Freshman elevens yesterday afternoon. The 1921 team was the first to line up against the Boston squad. 1921 punted soon after receiving the kick-off, and Boston College started a running attack. No gains could be made, however, and the Freshmen quickly recovered the ball. E. H. Stillman and R. S. Humphrey by line plunges ran the ball to the five yard mark. From here it took three downs before Stillman could score. The ball was then given to Boston on the Freshman 25 yard mark...
...yard run back of the first kick-off by C. E. Works '20 placed the informals in position to score early in the game but a fumble gave the ball to the navy on its 22 yard line. A 15 yard penalty forced Schow of the reserves to attempt a punt from his goal line. The centre, however, passed the ball over his head, and Schow dropped on it for a safety, scoring two for the University. The reserves then punted from the 20 yard line, and the informals began their second attempt at crossing the goal line. A. Horween...
Coach Rollins replaced many of his regulars with substitutes at the begin- ning of the second half. This team, however, proved its ability to cross the navy's goal line as readily as the first eleven. R. Hoffman '19 made 15 yards on the kick-off and on the succeeding play ran to within 30 yards of the navy goal line. B. S. Blanchard '20 on his third play through the line brought the informal score to 22. The fourth touchdown came after the informals had intercepted a forward pass. Crosscup '19 crossed the goal line on a line plunge...
...hard-hitting line plunges of A. Horween '20 were most effective. He was used only in the first half; in the second, the longest gains were made by R. Hoffman '19, who followed J. G. Coolidge '20 as quarterback. Hoffman made one run of 80 yards from a kick-off in the last quarter, but the ball was recalled on account of holding. The punting throughout the game was done by F. C. Church '20, who also kicked three goals from touchdowns...
...first half, straight line rushes, in which Horween bore the brunt of the playing, succeeded in carrying the ball over the Dean goal-line twice. The second touch-down was especially noteworthy, as it was gained by an 80 yard march down the field after a touchback on the kick-off. Both these touchdowns were scored by Horween...
