Last year it was the common practice never to kick until forced by the third down; this year many a good punt has been put in at the second down, and some even at the first.

...Boston Athletic association eleven defeated Technology on Saturday by a score of 22 to 0. The Technology team was crippled by the loss of three good men, while the Athletic team averaged ten pounds heavier. The Athletics had the kick off and gained twenty yards.

Trafford kicked...
