...football practice yesterday afternoon, which was entirely secret, the men who played in the Brown game last Saturday were worked very lightly, Lockwood and Wendell being given a day's rest. The University team substitutes and the second team had a 20-minute scrimmage in which the first eleven scored two touchdowns. The first was made by straight rushing, the second on a fumble by Graydon on Hall's attempted drop kick for the first team, Nourse falling on the ball over the line. Starr kicked both the goals from touchdowns. White was tried at right halfback in the scrimmage...
...Brown, Mayhew, Kirley, and Schwartz played the best game. Time after time Mayhew nearly got free from his opponents when carrying the ball, and it was only by Lockwood's speed that he was stopped. Three times the Brown eleven tried for a goal from placement, but the passing was so poor that every attempt failed...
Lockwood ran back Brown's kick-off 22 yards to the 27-yard line. Burr punted, and after Brown had been forced back to the 12-yard line on a blocked kick, Dennie returned the punt to Newhall, who carried the ball from Harvard's 50-yard line to Brown's 44-yard line.

Curtis made the touchdown in two rushes, and Hazard missed the goal...
...Wendell off the field for roughness. It was owing to Newhall's judgement in using a kicking game from this point on that Harvard won the game. With the ball in the possession of the University eleven on its 30-yard line, Burr punted, Schwartz downing the ball for Brown on his 49-yard line. On the second play Harvard got the ball on a fumble on Brown's 50-yard line, and Burr again punted to Schwartz, who ran out of bounds on the 17-yard line, but the ball was taken back to the 2-yard line...
