...yard line, and Judd kicked the second goal from the field. Something more than half the first inning was now gone and the ball was on Wesleyan territory, when Saxe getting hold of the ball made a beautiful rush, the feature of the game, and made a touchdown directly behind the Harvard goal and Judd kicked the goal, making the score 16 to 0 in favor of Wesleyan. The reasons for thus allowing the Wesleyan men to approach the Harvard end so often were poor tackling and a refusal to fall on the ball by our rushers, and the magnificent...
...only a few men turned out to see the match. Harvard lost the toss and Trinity took the east end of the field. The ball was hardly put in play when rushes by our men carried the ball to the end of the field and Thayer made the first touchdown. The ball was poorly punted out and Peabody was unable to secure it. Willard soon made another rust and the ball was carried over the line by Gilman who thus made the score 8 to 0. No goal was kicked as the referee allowed a claim that Peabody's hand...

The Quincy men were now decidedly rattled and played in very poor form. They were forced to make a second safety and soon after a third. Hurd now secured the ball and made a beautiful rush through his opponents...
...second three quarters was practically a repetition of the first, the freshmen playing a sharp, progressive game and Quincy playing in a very listless manner. In five minutes Woodman secured a touchdown. Holden next obtained the ball and kicked a pretty goal from the field. After this there followed in quick succession touchdowns by Porter, Balch, Holden, Fargo and Woodman, four of which resulted in goals. The ball was close to Quincy's goal when time was called. Score, Harvard 69, Adams Academy...
