...played in the Stadium on Saturday afternoon between the Dalhousie University and All-Halifax teams, resulted in a tie of 3 to 3. Both teams played very hard and seemed over-anxious to win, with the result that the game was characterized by much forward passing. Scrimmages were very frequent and neither team seemed able to break away after the ball had been heeled out. Halifax lost several excellent chances to score through poor passing.

The work of both teams was ragged and offside play was altogether too frequent. Both sides punted continually and, in spite of the strong wind blowing across the field, Leonard made some excellent kicks. The discouraging feature of the practice was the inability of the first team to gain at critical times. The second eleven held for downs on the 8 1-2 yard line...
