...only touchdown of the afternoon. Burnett kicked off to the first eleven who rushed the ball rapidly down the field. Once or twice the second rallied, but they were unable to secure the ball, and well-executed tackle plays pushed it over the line. Fincke returned the next kick-off and Campbell downed Motley for a loss. The remainder of the practice was spent in unsuccessful rushing by the second...

...Harvard's favor and short and sharp rushes brought the ball to the twenty-five yard line. Fifteen yards by Parker around the end and short line plunges enabled Kendall to make a touchdown.

Twice they gained through Lawrence and then punted to Kendall on the ten yard line. Kendall next cleared the end for twenty-five yards and Hallowell punted.

Warren returned the next kick-off. Sharp work by Ristine, Hallowell and Swain, and a fumble by Upton gave Harvard the ball on Bowdoin's forty-yard line. Gierasch and Reid rushed the ball down the field, and Warren crossed the line with the ball, but off-side play called him back and the ball went to Bowdoin. On Webb's wild pass for a kick the ball rolled over the line and Upton was forced to make a safety. Twice again Harvard seemed about to score, when off-side play gave the ball to Bowdoin...
