...score of 3 to 0. Temple scored the goal from a difficult angle. Due to the extremely poor condition of the field the game was very ragged, both teams fumbling continually. Only once did Brown threaten the Harvard goal-line. After a series of line plunges and a successful forward pass, Brown had the ball on the Harvard 8-yard line where they were held for downs. The most striking feature of the game was the speed of the Brown backfield. For Harvard Atkinson, Parker and Spang played a good game, the latter making some long end runs. Casey starred...

But the Army held for three downs and on the fourth recovered a fumble on the one-yard line. Hobbs quickly punted out of danger...
