...long pass and by skilful dodging he carried it behind the goal line scoring a touchdown. Kimball kicked a goal from this touchdown with the advantage of the wind and kick-off, the Institute eleven did better, and soon had the ball on our ground and a skilful snap-kick from the field by Winsor, scored a goal for our opponents...
...scrimmages Bemis secured the ball and by a very pretty snap-kick from the field, he scored goal number 5, completing the score. One of the prettiest plays of the game, however, was yet to be played. It was a combination rush by nearly the whole line, in which Gilman's playing was very conspicuous. After a run of more than half the field he secured a touchdown, but the referee called time just before he passed over the line.

There is no reason why our freshmen...
...things were against them ; the pitching of Andover was probably more effective than any they will have to face in the subsequent games, and the condition of the ball was such as to render good fielding almost impossible. But to win with Yale, the nine must play with more snap and life, it must be able to play an up-hill game, and must not lose confidence in itself when the score is against them. As the Yale freshmen have not a very strong nine this year and have already been defeated by a preparatory school, we hope '87 will...
