...lost none of their fight and power. The black-jerseyed men fought well, but with little success, to stem the tearing plunges of Owen and Horween. Taking the ball straight down the field by gains through the line and around the ends, the University eleven got its only score when Horween rammed straight through the center of the black-jerseyed line for a six-yard gain and a touchdown...
...twenty-third a sadly weakened team faced the Phillips-Exeter Academy eleven. At the beginning of the third period, the score was 7 to 0 against the yearlings and only by the recovery of a fumbled pass and the tearing, slashing, attack of Jenkins were they able to score their two touchdowns and to win the game 14 to 7. P. Jenkins by this exceptional offensive work, and by kicking both goals from touchdowns, again proved himself to be the individual star of the backfield. J. J. Lee also played a fine game at quarterback. D. F. Holder starred...
Andover Academy eleven, the yearling's next victim, was defeated by the score of 17 to 7. E. L. Gehrke, and P.

But besides this, Gehrke proved himself to be a punter of no mean ability, his kicks, which averaged over 40 yards, were aimed with astonishing accuracy at the strategic points of the gridiron...

Gehrke tore through center for 10 yards and then went over for the first score. Then in the last quarter, with the score 17 to 7 against them, the yearlings uncorked a series of punishing line bucks and brought the score up to 17 to 14. A few seconds before the final whistle, Gehrke's kick, though blocked, rebounded from the back of a crimson...
...Yale game ended the season. The score of the contest although 28 to 3 against the Freshmen, does not indicate how much the yearlings outfought their blue-jerseyed opponents and how they were kept from scoring three times in the first half only by extraordinarily unlucky breaks. In the second two quarters, however, they were overwhelmed by the brilliant offensive playing of O'Hearn and Neidlinger who went over for one touchdown after another...
