...beginning of the second half for Harvard to get ahead again. Marshall's kick-off was returned to the centre of the field, wand with formation plays directed against the guard positions, Harvard started in for another touchdown. The 45 yard line had been reached when suddenly Mills broke through a hole opened by Wright and made his long run to the 5 yard line where he was tackled by Shannon. West Point fought very stubbornly but in three plays the ball was carried over by Jones. A very difficult goal was kicked by Barnard. Later in the half West...

Meier gained five yards nearly every time he was called upon to take the ball was very reliable on the defense...

Williams, finding Harvard's weak place, soon sent Gutterson around Percival...
...this event has been beaten only once in America and that by Kraenzlein who did 1-5 of a second better at the intercollegiate games in 1898 and established the present world's record. Tingley made the longest shot put ever credited to a Harvard man in competition and broke Robinson's record of 43 feet 4 inches by 4 inches. In the preliminaries of the 220 yards hurdles Scheuber lowered the dual record and equalled the time made two weeks ago by Willis. This record, however, was lowered by Willis in the finals, in which event Scheuber took second...
