...quarters, scored the first touch-down for eighty-six way off at one side of the field. The ball was punted out, but no free catch was obtained, and Adams securing the ball scored touch-down number two. This was again punted out and a fine catch made, but Fisk failed to kick a goal. The ball then stayed for a little while about eighty-nine's twenty-five yard line, all attempt to get it further up the field proving of no use, as the strong wind effectually stopped the freshman half-backs from kicking far. Eighty...

...part of the score to the wind. At first it seemed as if this was a poor excuse, for the moment the ball was put in play it went down towards the freshmen's goal, and soon eighty-six had the ball down right under eighty-nines' goal posts. Fisk tried for a goal from the field, but he failed to estimate the power of the wind properly, and the attempt was unsuccessful. This gave the freshmen the kick-off at the twenty-five yard line. The ball was given to Morse, who carried it well down to the middle...

As eighty-six had the ball most of the time, they did most of the fumbling, though the eighty-nine men managed to get in their fair share.
