...second and third periods almost proved disastrous for the Freshmen, for Dean had the advantage almost all the time. Welch started with two clever forward passes, but Hitchcock caught a third and ran it back 30 yards. Later in the second period Dean was again within the ten-yard line, but Sweetser intercepted a forward pass and ran it to the 50-yard line. The third period started in a kicking contest in which Harris of the Freshmen had a slight advantage over Welch, but toward the end Dean worked a succession of trick plays, which the Freshmen were unable...
Harvard scored 21 points in the first period. Logan took the initial kick-off 85 yards down the field for the first touchdown. About five plays later, Mahan, on a fake kick, went around right end and by availing himself of good interference and clever dodging carried the ball 70 yards for the second score.

The fourth touchdown came after Maine had been held for downs...

Those of the freshmen who took part in the game are entitled to their class numerals...

At the end of the first half the University led, 3 to 2, and in the second half broke through Stevens' defence for six more goals...
...second inning and two in the sixth: the first on a hit by Nash, an error by the first baseman and a squeeze play by Richardson; the two in the sixth were the result of a three-bagger by Mahan, Nash hit by a pitched ball, and two clever sacrifices by Ervin and Clark. The feature of the game was furnished by Nash who fielded 12 chances perfectly, made two hits out of three times at bat, and scored three runs. Innings, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R. H. E. Freshmen...
