Dartmouth 6, M. A. C. 0

In the first game to be played at the Oval under the new rules, Dartmouth defeated Massachusetts Agricultural College on October 1. Although the Green rushed the ball, during the latter part of the contest, the fumbling and holding of the Dartmouth players at crucial moments prevented scoring. The only score of the contest came in the last period, when a blocked punt by Sherwin was recovered by Elcock. On the next play Ingersoll skirted the left end for a touchdown. Sherwin kicked an easy goal.

The lack of knowledge of the new rules on the part of the officials and players alike tended to slow up the game and worry the contesting elevens. Many penalties were inflicted during the contest,. mostly, however, for holding and for' offside play, Dartmouth being chief offender.
