...University eleven defeated Wesleyan Saturday afternoon by the score of 20 to 0. Fifteen and ten minute halves were played. The victory showed unlooked for strength on the part of the substitutes behind the line, but was attended by some serious faults.

Superiority in punting again made a score possible. Devens returned the kick-off and Wesleyan began to rush. Twice they gained through Lawrence and then punted to Kendall on the ten yard line.
