...start of the game, Harvard had a substitute backfield. Hann was in McKay's place at left tackle and Huntington played centre. The team thus made up overwhelmed Cornell and scored the first touchdown within five minutes of play. After Lewis had added three points by a drop-kick from the 25-yard line, substitutes were put in, but the offence was not materially weakened. Cornell had the ball in Harvard's territory only twice and during the entire game was able to make but two first downs. Of the eight forward passes which the University team attempted, six were...
...they could not gain and punted to Campbell, who was tackled on his 50-yard line. A long forward pass from Wigglesworth to Lewis netted 22 yards and it was first down on West Point's 36-yard line. Campbell made 5 yards and then Frothingham tried a drop-kick, but the ball fell 10 yards short of the goal and Spaulding ran it in to his 17-yard line. Wendell took Campbell's place, and after the next play the period ended...
...first play of this period was Lewis's attempt at a drop-kick, which failed. West Point rushed from the 25-yard line and made its only first down on a tackle plunge by Dean. He tried the same play once more but could not gain and punted to Corbett. The latter, aided by the good interference of Morrison and Potter, ran from his 30-yard line to the Army's 45-yard line. Two plays netted 5 yards and Potter punted over the goal line. After one rush from the 25-yard line, Dean kicked to Harvard...
Corbett returned to the game, displacing Wendell, and Potter took Wigglesworth's place. In this period the play was entirely in West Point's territory, but a fumble, an unsuccessful drop-kick and an intercepted forward pass kept Harvard from scoring after it had rushed the ball inside West Point's 15-yard line...
When play was resumed McDonald punted from his 17-yard line to his 50-yard line. Six rushes, in which Corbett and Frothingham alternated on skin-tackle plays, carried the ball to the 15-yard line. Frothingham again failed in an attempt at a drop-kick. West Point punted on the first play from the 25-yard line and Wigglesworth was downed on his 50-yard line. It took eight rushes for the University team to put the ball on the 14-yard line, and a well executed forward pass from Potter to L. D. Smith advanced the ball...
