...Amherst team played a plucky game, but was clearly outclassed. They lost their only chance to score when Cobbs missed a goal from the center of the field on a drop kick, the ball failing to carry to the goal line. Twice the team would have made 30 yards or more on forward passes, but both times the University eleven was given the ball because it had not crossed the line of scrimmages at least five yards either side of the center...
...Amherst team again failed to gain and punted, Hall running back to his 38-yard line, where he lost the ball. On the next play Harvard was put back five yards for being offside. Crosby made two yards and Willis one on line plays, after which Cobbs tried a drop kick for a goal. The ball was blocked, however, Gray downing it for Harvard on the 39-yard line. Burr at once punted and after Amherst had been penalized 15 yards for holding the punt was returned. Foster caught the ball and ran back 12 yards to the 28-yard...

...yards on the first two plays and 12 on the third. Lincoln made two more yards through right tackle, downing the ball on the second team's 10-yard line. The next play was fumbled, Warren regaining the ball with a slight loss. Hall at once tried a drop kick which was successful. Two more drop kicks were tried by Hall from the same place, both of which failed on account of poor passing. The ball was then given to the second team in the middle of the field, and a few forward passes tried with little success...
