Stillman began the second half by running in Maine's kick-off for thirty yards behind compact interference. His punt was soon followed by a fumble by Bearse, and Barnard secured the ball on Maine's thirty-six yard line. Piper's gain of thirteen yards around right end was offset by a ten yard penalty for offside play, and Marshall tried another goal from the field from the forty yard line. The direction was slightly inaccurate, and the ball passed several feet to the left of the post. Little was lost by the attempt, however, as after the kick...
...field for eighty yards but on the second eleven's three yard line, the nervousness or anxiety which already in several games has prevented the team from making touchdowns when within striking distance, allowed the second eleven to get the ball on downs. Soon after the punt out from behind the goal, the first eleven again lost the ball on the second team's thirty yard line, from where the second advanced it nearly to the middle of the field before time was called. Crocker did some good defensive work at right end on the second team and besides breaking...
...slow in breaking through. Of the tackles used, Knowlton and Wright were the most satisfactory. They both have a good deal to learn, but their speed and strength is encouraging. Jones played his position well, but showed his old fault of not being able to follow the ball. Behind the line Graydon, Tenney and Piper showed good judgment in running, but lacked the necessary speed. In the open field they hesitated and lost good chances to score on long end runs. Graydon was the only back who showed any defensive ability...
...scored two more touchdowns. A punting game was played to advantage, as Stillman's punts were long and high and Bates was weak in catching them. On a fumbled punt Harvard go the ball in mid-field. Matthews took the ball from King in the scrimmage, and carried it behind the goal posts, but was called back because the referee's whistle had blown before he got the ball. Lindsay, Meier and Stillman then made repeated gains through the line, and Lindsay scored the touchdown on a long plunge through the centre. Daly kicked a difficult goal. The second touchdown...
...straight rushes the ball was brought to Bowdoin's three-yard line. Graydon was given the ball to carry over but in the midst of the scrimmage there was a fumble, and as the ball rolled out. Porter, Bowdoin's right end, picked it up, and, with both teams behind him, ran the length of the field for a touchdown. Philoon kicked an easy goal. Score, Harvard 0, Bowdoin 6. With only a few minutes to play, the Harvard team pulled together and immediately after the kick-off forced Bowdoin to punt. Marshall caught the ball at the centre...
