"Oct. 23d the B.H.S. eleven played a game with the Ostervilles in Osterville. The score was 18 to 0 in favor of the Hyannis boys, who put up a good game and played well together. Touchdowns were made by Peter Chase, Cannon and Heman Chase. Cannon being injured in the second half Hinckley was put into play in his place, and was sent through the centre for a 50 yard run, being downed by McKendrick on Osterville's ten yard line just as time was called. The features were runs by Chase and Cannon, and the excellent team play shown by the B.H.S. For Osterville, Crocker, McKendrick and Parker showed up best.

    The line up:

B.H.S.		Osterville
Parker	Left End	Paine	Right End
Tallman	Left Tackle	Cross	Right Tackle
Nickerson	Left Guard	J. Horne	Right Guard
Cook	Center	Pattison	Center

"On the 30th the eleven went to Falmouth and played the Lawrence High School. Our boys were no match for that team, being out-weighed and out-played at every point, except full back, where Peter P. Chase played the star game of either side, again and again preventing touch downs by breaking through the excellent interference of the Falmouth team, and tackling in a manner that was applauded even by the staunchest rooters for Falmouth. Cook, Nickerson, Bond and H. Chase showed up well but the others were for the most part unable to cope with their heavier and stronger opponents. The score was 32 to nothing. Your reporter could not obtain the line-up."
