...were unable to score again, although Stillman barely missed a goal from the field. In the second half, St. Mark's gained repeatedly around Harvard's left end. On the five yard line, however, the Freshmen obtained possession of the ball on downs, and Stillman punted well out of danger. A moment later St. Mark's missed a goal from the field. The ball was brought out to the fifteen-yard line and Stillman made a long punt, but the Freshmen forwards were slow in getting down the field, and King for St. Mark's succeeded in rushing through...
...first half, Andover played at her best. The ball was rushed to Harvard's seven-yard line, but there the Freshmen braced and obtained the ball on downs. After that, until the end of the half, neither goal was in danger. When the second half began, the Freshmen showed a decided improvement. They carried the ball the length of the field on straight rushes, but, just as they were within striking distance of Andover's goal, off side play by Nickerson lost the ball.

Only once, in the second half, did it seem likely that they would score, but the ball was lost and Brill quickly punted it out of danger. Exeter, on the other hand, played a sharp and fast game, but missed the chance to score by attempting four goals from the field, which were all unsuccessful. Had they adopted a line-plunging policy they might well have scored, for the Harvard eleven seemed unable to check their rushes...
...William Lawrence, D.D., Bishop of Massachusetts. He compared the present size of the society with that which it had when Harvard was smaller and the meetings were held in the basement of University Hall. In the growth of the society with the University there is great encouragement. The danger that exists from over-development of the intellectual faculties to the exclusion of religion can be successfully met by engaging a work like that which the St. Paul's Society provides...
