...ball is given to Belden and he advances a few yards and Bradlee is on to him. Orcult follows with a run. Bradlee has a chance to make a tackle, but is not quick enough. Harvard secures the ball and Wood carries it down the field. Saxe's kick is stopped by the William's rushers and Beldon falls on it. The Williams quarter back makes a foul and Harvard takes the ball in the middle of the field. It is passed to Porter who carries it behind the goal posts. Goal. Score, 12-0. Williams tries the same tactics...
...Williams team played a good game but showed their lack of practice in games, this being their first. A very noticeable feature of their playing was that they were afraid to kick the ball...
...Harvard team it can be said that they blocked off well, but their tackling was for the most part miserable, and the half-backs do not seem to know where they are to kick the ball. For Harvard, Harding, Wood, Porter and Brandlee did good work, and Belden, Kimball and Orcutt for Williams.

Bradlee made a good rush, however, but then the ball went to Tech after four downs were called. Germer got the ball and rushed the whole length of the field making first touchdown for Technology...
...second half opened in a very uninteresting manner. The rushers on both sides were poor. Germer in attempting to make a fair catch collided with Devens and lost the ball. Bancroft got it and passed to Bradle, who made a touchdown. Perry failed to kick the goal. The playing now seemed to be without any snap. Harvard blocked very poorly and repeatedly failed to get touchdowns even when within 20 feet of the line. At last the ball was kicked over the Tech line and Slocum managed to fall on it first. Then Perry tried for a goal but failed...
