...have adequate protection when called on to kick. Fish put up a good game on the offense and tackled well in the open field. The guards, Peirce and Hoar, and Nourse at centre, played steady, reliable games, opening up good holes for Apollonio and repulsing the few attacks the Springfield backs made at the centre of the line.

Rand intercepted Honhart's forward pass on the next play and then the ball was carried 20 yards in four plays for a touchdown by Apollonio. Gilbert missed Starr's punt--out, and the score...
