...time was spent in attempts to remedy this weakness. The first eleven used many trick-plays, but the second still relied upon the guards-back formation. Owing to the stiffness of the men who played on Saturday, both the linemen and the backs were slow in starting with the ball. A certain lack of team play was indicated also, by the failure of the eleven to follow the ball with any degree of certainty...
Burnett kicked off to Hudson, who ran back fifteen yards before he was downed by Donald. Attempts at gaining around Harvard's ends failed, and Miller punted. Gierasch, annoyed by the Indian ends, did not catch the ball cleanly and it rolled to one side. Redwater dropped on it, scrambled to his feet and broke away down a clear field. Daly caught him from behind, but too late to prevent a touchdown. Wheelock missed the goal...
Succeeding the next kick-off, both sides fumbled continually. After an exchange of kicks to Harvard's favor and an off-side play by Carlisle, Ellis rushed the ball to the Indian's 20-yard line on a fake kick, and by successful line-plunges, carried it to the five yard line.

Offside play by Harvard gave the ball to Carlisle, who rushed it to the 40 yard line, where Hudson missed a difficult goal. More punting followed in Hallowell's favor, until he finally secured the ball on a fumble. This enabled Kendall to score, and Daly kicked...
...Friday afternoon, Averill, Harvard, defeated Stuart, Princeton, 5 up 4 to play, and Pyne, Princeton, defeated Hitchcock, Yale, 1 up. On Saturday Pyne had the better of in the morning round up to the turn, when he was two up. At the first tee Averill drove the better ball, but over-pitched on his mashie shot falling in the trap bunker beyond the green. It cost him two to get out of the bunker, and Pyne won the hole, 5-7. Averill won the second hole, 3-4, through Pyne's indifferent putting. Both men made the third green...
