...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. Neither team was able to advance the ball any distance, except at one time, when Frothingham and Pierce each made 10 yards on end runs...
...beginning of the second half, Brown recovered a punt on Harvard's 20-yard line, and Greenwood tried a dropkick, which failed, the ball going to Harvard on its own 15-yard line. Frothingham made a long run around right end to the centre of the field, but an onside kick gave the ball to Brown on its own 25-yard line. Brown fumbled on the next play and Knapp recovered the ball for Harvard on Brown's 5-yard line, whence Pierce scored. Frothingham kicked the goal. The Freshmen scored their second touchdown by 75 yards of straight rushing...

Browne made nine yards through right tackle, and a series of line plunges brought the ball to the opponents' 46-yard line. MacKay recovered Cutler's onside kick on the 22-yard line, and Corbett, with splendid interference by White...
...ball on downs. Both teams used the forward pass frequently. Harvard was particularly successful, while Carlisle failed on all but one. Cutler and Fish worked the pass to perfection and never failed to gain with it. The backfield is still weak in receiving kicks, and in the second half Cutler fumbled a punt from Thorpe on the 40-yard line, Leslie finally recovering the ball on the 14-yard line...
...right tackle, and with White made first down. Corbett was tried at left tackle for twelve yards more. Corbett was hurt, Leslie went into his place and White plunged through right guard for the second touchdown. MacKay kicked the goal. After a few plays time was called and the half ended, with the score 11 to 0 in Harvard's favor...
