...This over, DeCamp soon had the ball and rushing forward was tackled, but passed to Lamar, who carried it close to the Harvard goal line, but very much at one side. From the rust back. a side pass was made by Dick Hodge. There was a chance for Hurd who rushed forward and canght it, but was himself tackled before he could get on headway for a run. From this down, the ball was kicked by himself and was caught in mid-field by Baker, who made a fine rush eluding every Harvard man, and scored a touchdown behind...
...Hurd next made a brilliant run regaining all the lost ground, but was forced out at the other side of the fleld. The ball was lost by Kimball at the next pass and the Princeton man who got it was only stopped by Peabody when he had passed all others. Willard's kicking still kept the ball at the same general locality and he was soon enabled to make a try for goal. The kick was good but the ball went a little to one side. It was now Princeton's turn and by good rushes aided by continued...
...With his snakelike movement he wound in and out among the Harvard men and before stopped had gained many yards. From the down which ensued after this rush a fine side pass was made to Lamar who had a chance for a fine run around Harvard's line, but Hurd was watching and soon had Lamar sprawling on the ground.

Breaking through by Harvard with Brooks in the lead, forced the ball up the field, only to have it returned by Moffat's powerful kicking. Loose work by Harvard ensued and Harris rushed the ball through and made the last touchdown, from which a goal was kicked. Another burst of speed by the Harvard rushers carried the ball well towards the Princeton end, where Moffat's kicking again came into play to relieve his side...
Granted, as an '88 man claims, that the freshman eleven at Exeter was weakened by the loss of Hurd and by the injury to Fargo, yet it was strengthened, compared with the team which played at Andover, by the presence of Osgood and Woodman. The eleven was able to keep the ball at the exeter end of the field, as was clearly demonstrated by the goal which they made, and by the number of times which they uselessly punted the ball over their adversaries' goal line, during the greater part of the game. That they allowed Exeter to score...
