...yesterday afternoon's scrimmage between the first and second elevens, the first scored a touchdown after six minutes of play. The line of the first team played an aggressive game and showed lots of life. Their defensive work was good; the second team backs frequently did not reach the line and forward passes were blocked time after time. Fish was back in the line, and Withington took McKay's place at left tackle. Corbett made good gains and did some clever running; and Smith played a fairly consistent game. The whole team displayed more team play and got more snap...
Perkins kicked off for the second team to Fish who ran the ball back to the 30-yard line. Corbett gained eleven yards on two line plays, and Burr punted to Johnson who fumbled and R. Brown recovered the ball for the first on the second's 38-yard line. Corbett made six yards through left tackle, and after the second eleven had been penalized five yards for interference, he gained seven yards more. Smith netted nine yards on two centre plays, and carried the ball over from the 3-yard line for a touchdown. Burr kicked the goal...
After the ball had changed hands several times during the scrimmage, R. Page punted to Cutler, who ran the kick back twenty yards to the middle of the field. From here the University team carried the ball to the twenty-yard line on line plunges and a twenty-yard run by R. Brown around right end. Then came Cutler's forward pass which fell over the second team's goal line...

Bowdoin lost the ball by a fumble and Graydon and Smith both failed to gain at right tackle. Harvard was penalized ten yards for holding and Burr punted to Bowdoin on their 35-yard line. F. Smith made three yards...
...Smith, Sprague for Graydon, Vogel for Kennard, while Philippbar went in Burr's place at left guard. Bowdoin kicked off to Vogel, who juggled the ball and Bowdoin got it on Harvard's 25-yard line. After two line plays Bowdoin made a goal from placement but was put back ten yards for holding; here the ball was fumbled and regained on the 53-yard line. Bowdoin now tried a forward pass which failed and the ball went to Harvard at the middle of the field. Harvard held and was penalized fifteen yards. White made six yards through right tackle...
