'96 50 - A. A. C. 12.

The freshman eleven had very little difficulty in beating the Amherst Agricultural College eleven in their game played Saturday on Jarvis field. The result of the game was very encouraging for '96, as the Amherst eleven is considered quite a strong one. The team work of '96 was very good and strong, while the interference was also good. The men, however, fumbled the ball entirely too much and this weakened their game considerably. The defensive work was often very effective, '96 getting the ball several times on four downs. The touchdowns were made either by Arnold around the end or by Fennessy and Gould through the centre. The high tackling of the Amherst team was partly responsible for their defeat as the Harvard backs often made several yards after being tackled. One of Amherst's touchdowns was on a fluke. Following is the order of the players:
