West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P. Withington kicked off to Dean, who ran to his 26-yard line, after some very clever dodging. A fake kick failed to gain so Dean punted to Frothingham, who was tackled instantly on Harvard's 40-yard line. A quarterback run gained seven yards, three line plays netted 17 yards more, but Harvard was penalized for offside play, leaving the ball on West Point's 50-yard line. Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...

Wynkoop '08, of Yale, on the negative. The Coolidge Prize was won by J.S. Davis '08 in the trials for the University team, which was coached by Hon. A.P. Stone '93 of Boston...
...chief among whom was John Milton, one year his junior. There was a close friendship between the two young men during the five years of John Harvard's residence in Cambridge.
