The play of both teams and especially that of Harvard, was marred by fumbling. The Brown backs could at no time gain consistently. Pierce and Frothingham for the Freshmen, and Tewksbury and Greenwood for Brown did the best work. The teams played very evenly in the first half, the ball remaining near the middle of the field.

Thorpe made give yards, but two other plays failed to gain, Harvard getting the ball on its own 38-yard line. White and Corbett netted thirteen yards on two line plays, but a penalty...
