The game between Ninety-two and Ninety three on Norton's Field yesterday afternoon resulted in a tie, each team scoring twelve points. The two elevens on the who e played very good foot ball, although there was very little team work Time was called at 4 o'clock, Ninety-three having the ball and the northern end of the field. They started with a V, which was very well stopped by Ninety-two, and Weed got the ball in the scrimmage, Green goes around the right end and gains fifteen yards before he is forced out. The ball was brought in fifteen yards and after Green had gained five yards more the ball went to Ninety three on four downs. Parker gains twenty yards around left end and Thatcher five more through centre; Ninety-two again gets the ball and Forbes is forced to punt, Newell getting the ball on Ninety three's twenty-five yard line. Green rushed for ten yards and Ninety two came very near scoring, but Ninety-three gets the ball and rushes it gradually down to the centre of the field. The play continued in the centre of the field for quite a while, each eleven having the ball several times. At last Ninety-three rushes the bill towards Ninety two's goal and in their turn come very near scoring. Ninety-two gets the ball on her five-yard line and Forbes punts Weed and Gray both fall on the ball and Gray is hurt so badly that he has to leave the field. Spalding takes his place. Ninety-two now rushed the ball right up the field, and after Weed, Forbes and Cook had each made good runs. Green scores the first touch down of the game and Forbes kicks the goal.
