Yesterday the college had the opportunity of seeing the first exhibition from '95 which could be considered encouraging and in a measure indicative of the form needed to make a decent showing against Yale.

The team is light and not yet shaken together but quarter-back Wrenn kept the play fast and hard and in this the secret of the good score lay. The blocking off was fair, the worst tendency being for the blocker to get in the hole himself instead of making it wider.

Whitman played full-back owing to the somewhat surprising fact that Phelan did not turn up or send any explanation of his conduct. The half-backs were Jackson and McNear. With such material behind the line the game with Yale ought not to be a hopeless affair by any means, despite the nine men from the Yale 'varsity training table.

Whitman although light, understands bucking the line and made continued good gains through the centre.

Jackson has the greatest possibilities for a half-back of any candidate who has presented himself, but he seems to lack sand or confidence in himself. He is very apt to start slowly and get too far behind his blockers, but when once going he is the fastest man and best dodger on the team. If he will overcome his tendency to be satisfied with himself when he has made his five yards and will fight till he is down he will make a good man.

McNear shows good speed and blocks off well but is easily tackled and does not understand arm work in warding off a tackler. He plays hard when in the line but is too easily stopped when he has the ball.

In the line, Davis, left tackle is the most promising man. In yesterday's game he did a large part of the tackling, springing hard and low. He gets through well and knows what to do when by his man.

Potter, Eddy and Murchie all showed improvement in the steadiness of their play and held their men pretty well. In the first half it seemed almost as if '95 were playing without end rushers. Boyden was slow and allowed himself to be turned in almost every time. Later in the game, however, he improved and did some hard, clean work. He is a conscientious worker but does not understand what he is to do.

Adams on the other end can tackle very prettily, but hardly did a thing throughout the game. He was easily pushed in and played listlessly.

The game was interesting despite the large score on account of the number of clever long runs and the sharp play. Fall River although over matched played pluckily and did some pretty tackling.

The freshmen had the ball on the start off and without losing it scored in three minutes. No goal. Score 4-0. Fall River makes a big gain around Adams' end and another around Boyden's, and then lose the ball. With long runs by the backs '95 scores. Goal. Time 9 minutes. Score, 10-0. '95 again gets the ball near the line to lose it by off side play. They get the ball again, however, and score. No goal. Time 15 minutes. Score 14-0. Ten minutes more they score again. 18-0. Jackson now makes a beautiful run, making the last touch down of the first half. Score 24-0. Fall River gets the ball and goes around Boyden's end and time is called with the play in '95's territory.

In the second half '95 continued to play sharp foot ball, and scored four times in fifteen minutes when time was called on account of darkness. Three goals were kicked, making the final score '95, 65; Fall River, 0. The feature of the half was a long run by Jackson aided by the good interference of McNear.

The team lined up as follows:

NINETY-FIVE. FALL RIVER.

Boyden, (left-end) Hooper.
