...customary high wind which accompanies such a day was what the foot ball men had to play in. The game was played in two innings of 35 minutes each and was called at about half-past three.

...Saturday the famous "brick yard" at Andover, in a fair condition in spite of the rain, was covered by a crowd from the Academy and about 100 freshmen. At 2.45 P. M. the ball was kicked off, with Andover at the upper side of the field.

The Techs had the first kick-off and the ball was put in play at 3.16 P. M. They succeeded by a quick rally in carrying the ball some distance towards the Harvard goal, but then lost it. The man who next got it was Bemis, who made a beautiful rush and worked the ball close up to the other end of the field. Kent tried...
