With the ten thousand dollar mark well passed in two days drive and the campaign just getting under way, the prospect for a successful conclusion of the week is very favorable...
...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 Athletic Committee hopes that a game may be played against a team at Ayer on October 13. This would probably mark the opening of the informal season. Although nothing definite is known about a team at Ayer, it is certain that an amusement such as a football game would be very welcome at Camp Devens. Moreover, if University graduates who gained commissions at Plattsburg are allowed to play, a strong eleven...
