Bond and Beals were both stronger than their opponents and broke through repeatedly. The good work of Harding and Wrenn prevented Exeter from gaining around the ends. Ninety-four, however, lost several chances to score, and once when the ball was within a few yards of Exeter's goal they were compelled to surrender it on four downs. Brooks and Garrison made several long runs...

...practice game with B. A. A. on Clover Field. B. A. A. were compelled to play substitute ends and thus their line was not as strong as in the ninety-four game. Ninety-five's line played a plucky game, but were unable to hold their heavier opponents, who broke through repeatedly. Cockrell, at left guard, was weak and B. A. A. made most of her gains through him. Hartwell played well and B. A. A. were unable to make any gains around his end. Mills at quarter tackled well. Knapp lost an easy chance to tackle which resulted...

...prettiest work was done by Gonterman. He made three long runs of over sixty yards each. He followed his blockers closely and broke away from them only at the last moment, when there was no alternative. His dodging was quick and puzzling and he ran with good speed. Hoag, Beale and Corbett did well. Foster made one bad pass, but otherwise put up a very satisfactory game. His best work was the quickness with which he got the ball in play and his interference...

There was a great deal of fumbling and weak offensive work by the 'varsity in yesterday's game. The graduate team could hardly be expected to make much headway without any team work, but they were able to hold the 'varsity altogether too often. The ease with which Hallowell broke through the interference shows that it is too weak to be worth much in a big game. Gray played the best game of the backs, but had to do so much interfering on his own account that he was not able to show up at his best. Wrightington is quick...

...lost the ball at once on a fumble. The 'varsity worked it down to within two yards of the line when Wrightington fumbled. Corbett kicked and the 'varsity then did the best playing of the afternoon. Good clean rushes took the ball to the 15 yard line when Hoag broke through and made the only touchdown of the game...
