...offside plays by Exeter, with two costly fumbles, gave the Freshmen their first touchdown. Exeter's line plays, especially a rolling tandem formation on tackles, were effective, and made the score for the first half even, 6 to 6. In the second half Brill and Hutchinson exchanged punts, a slight superiority in the Freshman ends giving Hutchinson an apparent advantage. Finally, with five minutes to play, Exeter renewed her attack on the Freshman line, which was now weakened by substitutes, and scored with ease. Strassburger's attempt at goal hit the cross-bar. After the kickoff, Exeter was held...
Their full strength was not represented, as Campbell, Lee, Graydon, and Daly did not play because of slight injuries, and Kendall played only a short time. Sawin was not on the field, as his injured knee prevents his doing any work. Hallowell did some kicking and went through the signal practice, but took no part in the actual playing.

He made steady gains by leaping over the line and by keeping...

The English team was under a slight disadvantage from the unaceustomed quickness of the American style of ball, but was on the whole fairly outplayed...
...which each man was given every possible chance to show his ability in real baseball. In place of the old regime of three grounders to a man, plays were substituted which were modelled exactly on those which take place in actual games. The largeness of the squad proved a slight disadvantage, but the cage was divided in a new way by means of cross-nets, so as to make four different portions for separate practice. As soon as the weather allowed the men to get out-doors, a system of grading players was adopted. By this...
