...school team crossing their goal line in the final seconds of play. The next week, out generaled and out-fought in every department of the game, the Orange and Black was overwhelmed by the powerful Kiahimineias> School eleven which won, 35 to 0. At no time could the Freshmen threaten to cross the goal line of their opponents...
...opposition was less severe, but it was an entirely different team that tore time after time down the field. The line charged harder, the interference was much smoother and the backs picked their holes well in bucking the line. Only once did the visitors threaten the goal line, but here a wall-like defense halted their rush on the one foot mark...

The University gained its last two runs in the fifth, Conlon walked, got to second when the ball trickled out of shortstop's glove on a throw from catcher, and crossed the plate as Thayer's hard grounder skimmed the grass along the first base line...
