First Holyoke was declared the winner of division II, and Hollis Stoughton the winner of division...

The short scrimmage which followed was devoted to further trail of the University team's defensive strength, with the result that the second eleven not once gained a first down. Toward the end Hall tried a few drop kicks for goals and Burr attempted several goals from placement from behind the line of scrimmage...
