...first half Yale received the ball on the kick-off, but could not gain. After four minutes of play Leatherbee blocked White's attempt to punt and secured the ball on Yale's 15 yard line. Four rushes by the tackle-back formation brought the ball down to Yale's 5 yard line, and then Mills carried it over. Harvard's second touchdown was made nine minutes afterward, when Yale fumbled a punt on the 10 yard line, and Mills on the second play was pushed over the goal line. After the next kick-off Harvard seemed to relax, while...
...second half the play was made interesting by brilliant end runs. Harvard's first touchdown was made by Mills on a 30 yard run after Sard's 30 yard gain and plunges by Leatherbee had carried the ball within striking distance. After the kick-off Hurley ran around the end for 35 yards and Randall made the touchdown on the next play. The last touchdown was made in four plays. Randall ran 20 yards around right end and Hurley made 42 around the other end. Randall gained 10 yards and then Hurley plunged over the line for a touchdown...
...under punts; but allowed himself to be blocked off too much by the interference. Clark got down quickly on punts and tackled well. Marshall played a sure game at quarterback and used judgment in running plays. Daly, who took his place, besides running the team well, made a drop-kick goal from the 30 yard line. He was slow in getting away his punts. Graydon was the only one of the backs who could gain ground steadily. Putnam punted poorly and did not follow his interference closely. Derby, Jones and Devens gained some ground at times, but were not reliable...

The Juniors, then, by successive plunges through the centre, slowly worked the ball down the field, and finally Bullivant was pushed over for a touchdown. Pier kicked a very close goal. On the kick-off Pier ran the ball back 30 yards, and 5 yards more was made around the Seniors' right end. Small gains were made by line plunges until the ball was carried to the Juniors' 45 yard...
...Seniors kicked off in the second half. The Juniors again, by superior team play, rushed the ball to their own 20 yard line, where they were given 10 yards for offside play. On the next play they lost the ball on a fumble. Locke then kicked a brilliant goal from the field from the 30 yard line. After the kick-off the playing was in the Juniors' territory with little advantage for either team. Time was called a few minutes later...
