...after an exchange of punts and a forward pass, the second punted to Wendell who ran back 25 yards to the second's 25-yard line. Apollonio then made the second touchdown after another series of tandem plays. The third touchdown was soon made by Starr, who recovered Burr's kick on the 15-yard line and ran it over the goal. Shortly after the fourth kick-off, Cooper recovered a fumble on the first's 45-yard line. Aided by a forward pass of 15 yards, the seconds got the ball to the 25-yard line. Osborne then kicked...
...first team's line was weak in holding on punts, and as a result some of Burr's and Starr's frequent kicks were blocked, generally by Osborne. Neither team seemed able to gain around the opposing ends. Starr and Rand were usually thrown for losses on right end plays by Morse or Osborne, and the second halfbacks could not gain around Forster or Macdonald. White played an excellent game for the second, and their steady gains through guard and centre were due to his hard line-bucking. Towards the end of the scrimmage Fish and Inches changed places...

Forster, l.e. r.e., Cooper Burr, l.t. r.t., Inches, Fish Gilmore, l.g. r.g., Davis Grant, c. c., Dore Robinson, r.g. l.g., Plumb Fish, Inches, r.t. l.t., Osborne, Kennard Macdonald, r.e. l.e., Moore Starr, q.b. q.b., Cate Rand, l.h.b. r.h.b., Gregory Blumer, r.h.b. l.h.b., Graydon Gray, f.b. f.b., White
...Harvard tried guard and tackle plays only to be held with no gain. On the other hand, the Navy seemed unable to gain through the University line, and when not punting made most of their gains around the ends. In the second half punts were repeatedly exchanged, Newhall relieving Burr of some of the kicking on account of the latter's injury. With Burr's ankle in good condition, Harvard would have had a great advantage over Douglass, the Navy punter, and as it was, Burr's kicks outdistanced his opponent's by from five to ten yards. One minute...
Harvard won the toss and received the kick-off. Newhall returned the kick, taking the Navy by surprise. Burr recovered the ball and ran to the 30-yard line for a total gain of 70 yards. A penalty for holding then put the ball back 15 yards and Newhall made an onside kick which the Navy secured. Harvard got the ball again, and Burr caught Newhall's forward pass, running it to the 15-yard line. Here Harvard was held for downs on line plays. Douglass punted on the first down. Newhall tried a forward pass from Annapolis' 45-yard...
