...Freshman team yesterday afternoon was again secret. After the preliminary work of starts, kicking and falling on the ball, the first eleven lined up against the second. Only one short half of about twenty minutes was played, the first eleven scoring three times. McGrew and Derby were back again on the field, but only the former played against the second. There were three or four changes in the line-up, but these may not be permanent. McDonald was put at left end, McGrew back at left tackle, Riggs in Jones's place at right guard and Swann right halfback...
With an unusually large number of old members back, the musical clubs should have a very successful year. The Mandolin Club has already been reduced to its permanent form. It includes nineteen old members and six new men, and is probably the most advanced of the three clubs. By adding the drum, violin, etc., it has developed an orchestral form for seven or eight parts.

Yale gained on the next exchange, and finally secured the ball on Harvard's 40-yard line on a forward pass by Sawin to Kendall. Yale could not gain by rushing, and then the ball was passed back 20 yards to McBride in order to keep possession of it, and obtain first down. Again Yale began to rush the ball and this time with better success. Fresh halfbacks gained through the line at will, until Harvard took a brace, and forced McBride to again pass back 20 yards...
...downs on Harvard's 30-yard line. Harvard kicked, and Hallowell got the ball on a fumble. The eleven now took the aggressive and rushed the ball to Yale's 22-yard line where it was lost on a fumble. McBride punted out of danger and Daly ran it back fifteen yards. Reid punted, and again Fincke fumbled to Hallowell. Time was nearly up, and Harvard was held for two downs on Yale's 15-yard line. Unfortunately, Sawin was out of the game, and Hallowell had to try for the goal. He missed, and the whistle blew...
