The sophomores sent the following eleven into the field yesterday to represent them: Rushers, Smith, Griffing, Markoe, Morse, Trafford, Perkins, Morgan; quarter-back, Woodbury; half-backs, Perry, Scott; full back, Hunneman. The freshmen had: Rushers, Crehore, Page, Slocum, Dexter, Piper, Wentworth, Emmons; quarterback, Crane; half-backs, Hunnewell and Tyson; back, Higginson.
The air was cold, and a high wind was blowing down the field. '89 won the toss and took the west goal. Ninety failed to keep the ball long and good rushes by Scott and Perry brought it to the line, where the latter got it over. Scott kicked a goal. After a few preliminaries the ball again found its way to '90's goal, and Woodbury touched it over the line. No goal. Scott now was thrown hard by Wentworth and badly winded. Goodwin took his place for a few minutes, till Scott changed places with Griffing, the latter going half-back, Fine rushes by Perry and Morgan brought the ball again down the field, the freshmen running around like sheep, and Perry scored another touchdown, from which Scott kicked a goal. Slocum now made a good rush for the freshmen, and Hunnewell made three successive runs, but '90 failed to keep the ball, and the half closed with the score 16 to 0 against them.
Play began briskly in the second half, Perry and Griffing carrying the ball over the line in three minutes. Goal. When the ball was again put in play, Crane kicked it fair at '89's 25-yard line, but Perry and Griffing carried it far up the field again. In the scrimmage Crane got the ball and ran unchecked, till forced out at '89's ten-yard line '90 lost the ball though, and Morgan, Perry and Griffing carried it up the field again, where Griffing made the last touchdown, and Scott kicked a goal. The rest of the half was hard fought, Crane making another good run and Perry and Morgan making several. The score was unchanged, however.
The game, as a whole, was the roughest and liveliest one seen on Jarvis this year. '89 played hard, and far better than a year ago, Perry, Griffing, Woodbury and Morgan being positively brilliant. The freshmen showed a deplorable lack of sand and science; Crane and Hunnewell were the only ones who did any playing at all, and Tyson and Higginson the only ones who tackled for anything but cap-tassels. At least three men in the rush-line are of not the least use whatever.
