...other end of the field. Kent tried for goal but failed. The ball was brought out by the Techs and kicked off. Bemis and Gilman rushed it back and Kent tried again for a goal from the field and failed. The next move of interest was a rush by Wesselhoeft which resulted in a touchdown. Willard punted out but did it so poorly that a try for goal was impossible. Phinney was the next fortunate man and he secured a touchdown in a very short time from which Kent again failed to make a goal. The ball was soon obtained...

...watched the work of the eleven, or rather of the men who are trying for places on the eleven. There were present on the field twenty-three men, who played a fairly interesting game. Many new faces were noticed among the players, '87 being especially prominent. The presence of Wesselhoeft, '84, and Cabot, '86, seemed to give promise of better things for the team. Bemis, Colony, and Foster, of '85, also took part in the game. The work was earnest throughout, and fairly creditable for the time of year, some fine kicking by the backs being worthy of notice...
