...feating Yale 1901 by the score of 34 to 0. As the snow, which covered Soldiers Field to the depth of two inches, had been cleaned off only that morning, the ground was in a very slippery condition and greatly handicapped the work of both teams, preventing fast, clean play...

This inability to score when the opportunity presented itself was chiefly due to fumbling caused partly by the wretched condition of the field.

On one play Groton's backs would be thrown for a loss, but a moment later would gain by a simple trick...

One of the touchdowns was made by Garrison on a kick blocked by Wheeler. The other two, however, were made on straight football, hard rushes by Boal and Mills carrying the ball over the line...
