Harvard now improved and carried the ball immediately to their opponents' territory, forcing the Techs to make a safety. The ball clung to the Techs' goal after the kick-out, and good rushing by Biddle and Appleton caused another safety by our opponents. Afterwards Hartley was disabled by an injury to the knee and was forced to retire, Gilman taking his place. Biddle immediately rushed with the ball well up the field, and Wesselhoeft soon after gained...

The redeeming feature of the next few minutes was the fine tackling of Adams which gained him the chief commendation...

'87 had the kick off, and by a fumble of their opponent's full back, they scored a touchdown through Cochrane.
