...Battery outplayed the Cadets and, had it not been for a fumble on their opponents' five-yard line, would probably have scored. During the entire game the Battery goal-line was never in danger, while the Cadets were kept continually on the defensive. Gutterson, Ware and Beebe played a strong game for the Cadets and it was chiefly due to the Battery's concentrated attack on these three men that the Cadets were able to prevent a score. For the Battery, Clark played the best game, doing some excellent kicking...
...signals seemed to be confused and the next play was stopped for no gain. Minot was sent back to punt, but Hobbs broke through the line and blocked the kick, the ball rolling to Harvard's two-yard line where Kilpatrick fell on it. As he rolled over the goal line, for what seemed to be a touchdown, he fumbled, Corbett falling on the ball for a safety thus giving Yale two points. There was considerable disputing about this play but Edwards and Langford finally decided that it was a safety and not a touchback...
...ball was put in play on Harvard's 25-yard line and after one play the penalty for an incompleted forward pass put the ball on the one-yard line. Minot stood behind his own goal line and punted to Murphy who made a fair catch on Harvard's 36-yard line. Hobbs tried a goal from placement which was low. The ball bounded along back of the goal line until it hit one of the spectators who threw it to Field Judge Hall. Since the ball had hit an official, Hobbs was allowed another try at goal which also...
...fumbled, Corbett recovering the ball on his own 9-yard line. Leslie made five yards, from the kicking formation, and Corbett gained one more. In the last play, however, Harvard was holding and was penalized, the ball going to its one-yard line. Minot punted from behind his goal line to Philbin on the 36-yard line, Fish making a beautiful tackle. In two plays Yale carried the ball to the 27-yard line and, as time was nearly up, Coy dropped back for his fourth try for a field gold. Again he failed and the ball...
...next play but Yale was penalized for being offside. Three plays, with the Harvard offence working like a machine, made first down on Yale's 29-yard line. Two more line plays gained but three yards and Frothingham tried an onside kick which went over the Yale goal line. Howe picked up the ball and ran the length of the field, no one trying to stop him. The play was not allowed, Yale putting the ball in play on its own 25-yard line...
