...Shakespeare took the pass from center, juggled it a moment, and tossed to Roosevelt. A second to balance himself, and Roosevelt shot a pass on a bullet-like trajectory to Smithers, wing-footed Maroon end. As Smithers, four yards from a touchdown, felt the pigskin against his chest, the lithe form of Codfish Cabot, the doughty little Massachusetts quarterback, hit him amidships, and down he went. Roosevelt crashed the line, but Tiny Timm, giant guard, blocked his way. Again Roosevelt drove, and this time over the line...
...scrubs kicked off again and Putnam ran the ball-back to midfield. On the next play a lateral pass from Putnam to French netted 50 yards and another touchdown, but the first team was offside and the pigskin was called back. The penalty, however, did not stop the University eleven. In eight plays with Batchelder and A. W.

The ball was given to the University eleven on the scrub 15-yard line, and on the second play Putnam ran thirteen yards for a score. The pigskin was brought out and this time placed on the scrub 20-yard line. After Huguley had made a few yards on three line bucks. Holbrook circled the left wing for the last touchdown...
...brought down until he had reached the 10-yard line. G. C. Holbrook '30 pierced left tackle for five more yards. Here the scrub defense stiffened and it took three line bucks by Putnam and Holbrook to cover the remaining five yards, Holbrook carrying the pigskin over. Gilligan's try for the extra point by drop kick fell short by inches...
