Yesterday's practice was loose at times, but otherwise fast and aggressive. Although the 'Varsity was held for downs by the second eleven but once in the course of the line up, three times the ball was lost for holding. The new defence was very effective, not only preventing the second from gaining, but also easily breaking up the guards-back formation. In the preliminary practice, the first eleven devoted some time to the study of new formations and trick-plays, while Sawin tried for goals from the field...
...Royal Phelps Carroll cup, for single sculling, which has been lost for over ten years, is now known to be in the possession of Finlay '91, who won it last.

Daly then changed his tactics, and, after ten plays, alternating centre plunges and mass plays on tackle, Kendall was sent across for a touchdown. Sawin kicked an easy goal...

They carried the ball the length of the field on straight rushes, but, just as they were within striking distance of Andover's goal, off side play by Nickerson lost the ball. During the rest of the half the ball changed hands continually...
