Harvard scored almost immediately at the opening of the game. Although Upton handled Hallowell's kick-off very well, Bowdoin was forced to punt. After one poor pass by Swett, Upton punted out at his own thirty-yard line.

Sears caught an almost impossible ball and had three base hits to his credit...
