Harvard came near scoring at the very start of the game, when after an exchange of kicks Corbett carried the ball to the 9-yard line. Two line plunges netted only four yards, and Cutler tried a forward pass which went to Dartmouth for a touchback. Dartmouth's only chance to score came at the end of the same half. An onside kick from Harvard's 46-yard line was recovered on the 24-yard line. Sherwin went back to try a drop kick but the ball fell short, and Browne ran it back to the 28-yard line...
...During the first half the play was very even, and although Harvard was outplaying its opponents in the second half, it was not until the last few minutes of the game that Harvard's touchdown was made. It came as the result of a series of rushes and forward passes from Harvard's own 24-yard line, the best exhibition of football Harvard has shown this year. Three beautiful forward passes and consistent gains by Leslie, Ver Wiebe and Smith brought the ball to Dartmouth's 3-yard line, from where Leslie plunged across the goal line...

The game was remarkably clean throughout, and there were few penalties...
...work of acting Captain Fish at right tackle stood out above the men of both teams, not only on forward passes, but on the defence. He opened up the Role through which Leslie made the touchdown. Cutler, at quarterback, played his best game this year. Not only did he use excellent judgment and run his plays with speed and smoothness, but he also got off forward passes with wonderful coolness and punted well. MacKay, Nourse, Hoar, and Withington all played well. The work of the ends also showed improvement, Browne and Crowley doing extremely well. It is hard to discriminate...
...Dartmouth's 43-yard line. Corbett failed to gain, and Kennard punted to Ryan, who fumbled, Crowley recovering the ball for Harvard on the 28-yard line. Corbett went through right tackle to the 9-yard line. Corbett and White only netted four yards, and Cutler tried a forward pass which Fish failed to reach. The ball bounded over the goal line for a touchback. Sherwin punted out from the 20-yard line to Kennard, who was downed on Dartmouth's 45-yard line. Corbett made five yards at right tackle, Browne failed to gain, and Corbett failed to make...
