Early in the second period Potter succeeded in getting off a beautiful onside kick which was recovered by Rogers on Holy Cross's 15-yard line. On the next play Harvard was penalized 15 yards for a very doubtful case of hurdling. Potter then dropped back to the 40-yard line, from whree he kicked a clean drop-kick between the posts. This proved to be the last score of the game. Score...
...pass from O'Brien. Whalen then passed to O'Brien, who dashed down the field for 30 yards, dodging several crimson players and not stopping until he had reached Harvard's 15-yard line. Two attempted plunges were smothered by an impregnable defence. Holy Cross tried a drop-kick but a poor pass and fast work by the University line stopped the play almost as soon as started and gave the ball to Harvard on downs. An exchange of kicks had as usual netted the University team about 20 yards, when time was called with the ball in Holy Cross...
...first 20 minutes the University team played a close game with the second team in which the former scored one touchdown by Storer but missed an attempted drop-kick by Potter from the 15-yard line. During most of this time the ball went back and forth in mid-field, neither side being able to score. Campbell got away three times for long runs but when the play approached the second team goal line, the defence stiffened, and the first team backs were powerless.

From here Wendell's excellent line plunging carried the ball to Yale's 16-yard line. On the next play, on the 14-yard line, Corbett fumbled, Daly recovering the ball for Yale. Howe immediately kicked and for the rest of the game Yale forced the play back towards Harvard's goal and only once again did Harvard have the ball in Yale's territory. After Howe had kicked from...
