...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. During the rest of the half the ball changed hands continually...
...touchdowns were scored during the first half and three in the second. In the first two minutes of play, Sawin ran ninety yards for a touchdown, after catching a punt. A few minutes later, Warren, with good interference, cleared left end, and scored from the middle of the field...

In addition to strong punting, he scored three touchdowns by long runs, kicked three goals from touchdowns and two goals from the field. Daly also made some long runs after catching punts...

Yale depended on line bucking formations, directed at the centre and tackles, but tried no end plays throughout the game. In kicking, Dartmouth would have proved equal to Yale if it had not been for poor passing by Rogers. As it was, Yale showed great superiority and development in the kicking game. The Yale backs were a little slow in starting, due in part to Fincke...
