Harvard's strongest point was behind the line. Here Redpath, Knox and Manning did about all that could be expected of them. Each during the game made good runs of 30 to 40 yards. Captain Scott at quarterback seemed at times to lose interest in the work and allowed the play to drag. Woods and Bull, the ends tackled finely and were good in breaking up interference. Very few of Columbia's gains were made around the ends. Tackle was the weakest part of the line. partly owing to the fact that the tackles were called back so frequently...

...line for a second touch-down. The goal was kicked. Score, 12-0. Upon receiving B. A. A.'s kick-off, Harvard steadily forced its way to the one yard line, when B. A. A. got the ball on a fumble.

Brewer's punting was not very good but this was partially due to the wetness of the ball and Wrenn's frequently inaccurate passing...
...lost the ball for holding. At Harvard's twenty-five yard line Ohl failed to drop a goal from the field, but soon after Cornell scored her second touchdown. Brewer caught Ohl's punt on the ten yard line, Beacham stopped the return kick and Colnan secured the ball behind Harvard's goal posts. The Harvard team tried hard to score, but they were too exhausted, the team play being loose and accompanied by little interference...
