...Andover on Saturday. The conditions were not at all favorable to a good game, but it proved to be one of the most stubbornly fought contests in the history of interscholastic football. For thirty-five minutes after the game began, the ball stayed near the centre of the field. Both teams played a hard game but they were so evenly matched that neither could gain any appreciable advantage. At last a fumble by one of Andover's backs allowed Stickney to secure the ball with a clear field before him. He started for Andover's goal line hotly pursued...

Score, 10-10. A few minutes later Brooks ran half the length of the field and scored again. Goal. Exeter seemed to weaken at this point while Harvard continued to play steadily. A few minutes before time was called Brooks made the last touchdown by a good rush. Goal. The teams were as follows...
