The second University football team was defeated in its first game yesterday afternoon by Phillips Andover Academy, by the score of 9 to 0. Early in the first period Captain Rogers of Andover kicked a goal from placement after a fair catch on Harvard's 40-yard line. Later Rogers secured the ball from Marsh on a blocked kick and ran 46 yards for a touchdown, from which he also kicked the goal. This ended the scoring, but Andover continued to outplay the second team, tearing up the Harvard line and using many short but successful forward passes. The Harvard line stiffened when driven near its goal line, one time securing the ball on downs on the 3-yard line. The second team was unable to gain consistently at any stage of the game.
The line-up follows: Score--Andover, 9; Harvard, 0. Touchdown--Rogers. Goal from touchdown--Rogers. Goal from field--Rogers. Referee--Tufts of Waltham. Umpire--Burleigh of Dartmouth. Field-judge--Mathews '06. Head-linesman--E. S. Blodgett '12.
