...excellently, hitting the line hard and fast, but his punting was even more phenomenal. His nine punts averaged 37 yards and all but one were made against a brisk wind. Leslie, when substituted for Frothingham, was absolutely steady, so that he could always be counted on for a substantial gain, while, in addition, he made a sensational catch of a short onside kick. The line played very well, the defence being especially strong, for West Point's two first downs were made on end runs from the kick formation, after Houston had been taken out of the play.

West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P. Withington kicked off to Dean, who ran to his 26-yard line, after some very clever dodging. A fake kick failed to gain so Dean punted to Frothingham, who was tackled instantly on Harvard's 40-yard line.

Harvard then began to gain, but Lewis was soon forced to kick to Paradise who gained only one yard. The Freshmen recovered the ball on a fumble. Wendell replaced Lewis, and Graves went in for Graustein. Marsh punted to Paradise who was thrown for no gain. Fletcher then kicked out from behind his own goal-line. Harvard was penalized five yards for off-side. Ervin replaced Gardner. A forward pass...
