Beaver Field, considering the lateness of the game, was in very
fair condition, offering equal chances to both teams. Promptly
at 3:30 they lined tip for the kick-off. After an exchange of
punts both sides .got down to steady work. From the beginning
it was evident that the Sophomores could score only by extreme
effort. Their defense, however, was. superb, considering the
weight of their adversaries. So that when the first half ended
without a score for either side, things looked hopeful for the
Sophomores, while traces of anxiety were plainly evident on the
faces of the Freshmen. In the second half, however, the latter
took a decided brace, and by successive rushes carried the ball to
the five-yard line. Maxwell was given the ball but fumbled.
Stuart, following closely, was on it in an instant, and the next
moment was over the line for a touchdown. Then pandemonium
broke loose among the Freshmen, which was silenced only when
Stuart failed an easy goal. The remainder of the game saw no
scoring, although it was teeming with interest to the end.
The entire contest was full of sensational plays. Twice Thomas
broke away from the interference for long runs only to be brought
down by Boyd. But perhaps no play was watched so anxiously
as. Boyd's try for a field goal, which missed by several yards.
