...first half on a 70 yard run by Bullock around the Freshman left end, and a short tackle gain through Paul. In the second half, the Freshmen played more strongly, and they rushed the ball to Andover's 35 yard line; Metcalf's try for a goal from drop-kick was unsuccessful...
...lasted longer than usual and four touchdowns were scored. The playing was very crude, with ragged interference and considerable fumbling. Quicker starting, however, was noticeable and the backs kept their feet better while advancing the ball. Three of the touchdowns were made on straight rushing and one on a kick blocked behind the second team's goal line. The longest run was made by Coburn who secured the ball on a quarterback kick at the center of the field and reached the 10 yard line before he was caught by Trott. The line-ups follow: Jones, Matthews, l.e. r.e., Crocker...
...plays, due, perhaps to the colder weather, and the line held more strongly than has been customary. Still there was hardly any brilliant playing to distinguish it from the general run of practices during the past few weeks.

Only one touchdown was scored, and that by the first eleven on straight rushes, principally formation plays, from the centre of the field. With the exception...
...progress of the game was very slow and, on account of the frequent injuries and consultations, extended over a period of two hours. Harvard was the first to score. Mills ran the kick-off in 25 yards and four plays through centre by Stillman and Mills covered the remaining 10 yards to the middle of the field. Then followed a series of end and formation plays, varying in their gains from 1 to 5 yards, which eventually brought the ball to West Point's 7 yard line. Leatherbee made half a yard through left tackle, and two formations with Jones...
...required but a few minutes after the beginning of the second half for Harvard to get ahead again. Marshall's kick-off was returned to the centre of the field, wand with formation plays directed against the guard positions, Harvard started in for another touchdown. The 45 yard line had been reached when suddenly Mills broke through a hole opened by Wright and made his long run to the 5 yard line where he was tackled by Shannon. West Point fought very stubbornly but in three plays the ball was carried over by Jones. A very difficult goal was kicked...
