Withington won the toss and chose to receive the ball. Weir kicked off to Lewis, who ran to his 30-yard line. On the next play, Corbett dashed around left end for 33 yards putting the ball on the Army's 47-yard line. After an exchange of punts, Harvard could not gain on West Point's 40-yard line, and a short kick was recovered by McDonald on his 21-yard line. Dean immediately kicked to Wigglesworth, who ran to his 53-yard line. In three downs the ball was on the Army's 27-yard line...

Philbin and Pfeiffer, especially, did excellent work in the backfield, Philbin's speed around end and Pfeiffer's ability to pick holes on tackle plays giving the University line its severest test of the season.

Smith threw Madden for a loss on a forward pass, compelling Creede to punt. Corbett ran to Harvard's 40-yard line before he was downed. Amherst lost 5 yards for offside on the next play but Morrison could not gain. Corbett therefore punted, but Harvard was offside...
Corbett, who is in bad condition on account of boils, was not on the field, and H. Leslie and T. Frothingham followed the practice in street clothes as both of them have lame knees. Bush and Long did not work but ran around the track. Long's knee is fast rounding into shape and he will be ready for hard work very soon. Coach Haughton, who has recovered from his illness, directed the practice. In addition to Coaches Leary, Blagden, Cutting, and Fish, C. J. Nourse '09, centre on the 1908 team, in his football clothes, coached the centres...
