...game started with 1901 in possession of the ball. A strong wind was blowing directly against the Freshmen and prevented them from gaining ground on punts as '99 often did. Hallowell kicked off and '99 returned the punt. Again 1901 kicked but failed to gain ground and the ball was almost on 1901's line. In the next play Jaynes got the ball but was forced back and downed behind his own goal. This safety was made within two minutes of start of play. On the next start Jaynes fumbled badly and 1901 seemed to be thoroughly demoralized. '99 broke...
Ninety-nine returned 1901's kick, but Putnam fumbled and '99 got the ball. Adams and Macomber then made long runs. Adams was hurt and Simpson took his place.

The Freshmen broke through the line and Jaynes scored their first touchdown. Hallowell failed to kick the goal. A few moments after the next line...

They never kept the ball for any appreciable length of time and never forced the playing into Harvard's territory. Assisted only by the line-men, who lacked aggressiveness, their backs were able to gain the necessary five yards but once, and that on an extremely fine decision. On the defensive they held for downs but once and were continually pushed back by the hard rushing game played...
