...lost considerable ground by the decisions of the umpire in favor of Williams for off-side play by Harvard. Harvard finally got the ball on the Williams fifteen-yard line, and rushes by Sears carried the ball across the line. The ball was punted out and fumbled, and Cranston had it down on the ten-yard line. Sears again carried it across the line and made the third touchdown for Harvard. Time 10 minutes. Fitzhugh tried for goal but missed, and Williams had the ball down on the three-yard line, when the Harvard rushers broke through and forced Williams...

...just behind the goal line, scoring the second safety against Wesleyan. Wesleyan kicked and Sears returned, and Slayback had a fair catch on the twenty-yard line. Porter returned his kick, and Trafford, in attempting to keep the ball from rolling over the line, slipped and knocked it across. Cranston stopped Wesleyan's kick from the 25-yard line and Finlay dropped on the ball. Rushes by Sears, Porter, Trafford and Davis carried the ball to the three-yard line, and Sears rushed it across, scoring the fourth touchdown for Harvard, from which Fitzhugh kicked a goal. Time 35 minutes...
...stong punting of the Harvard backs sent it to the centre of the field. A fumble of a Wesleyan's kick again brought the ball close to Harvard's goal, but it was quickly forced into Wesleyan's territory, when a kick by Sears was fumbled and Cranston carried the ball across Wesleyan's line. The referee, however, allowed it a fair catch with an originality of decision that was unique, to say the least. The kicking of Wesleyan and the fumbling of the Harvard backs brought the ball into Harvard's territory. Slayback made a beautiful punt, which Sears...
...game of Wednesday, particularly in breaking through and dropping on the ball. The tackling and holding are still the weak points. The tacks were unable to rush well on account of the slippery ground; all, however, punted well. The best work in the rush line was done by Cranston, Davis and Cumnock. Slayback punted and tackled well for Wesleyan. Mr. Landon refereed the game. Harding was umpire in the first half; Beattys, Wesleyan, '85, the second, which, fortunately for Harvard, lasted only 20 minutes...
