Wooster Beats Mansfield Eleven 6 to 0 in Big Gridiron Battle
Wooster University eleven defeated Mansfield by six points on the old ball grounds amid a crowd of about 1,200 with 60 parsons present. The Mansfield team showed weight and endurance but lacked practice and knowledge of the game, while Wooster leveraged speed and teamwork to secure the victory. The city editor notes the Wooster players and college guests behaved well throughout the day.
