...Seniors showed better team work and followed the ball more closely than the Juniors did. Brooks at left halfback excelled, and made the only score, intercepting a forward pass and running 70 yards through a broken field for a touchdown. After a successful on side kick which Jordan recovered for the Juniors, Hicks attempted a drop kick from the 30-yard line, which failed...
...time in their opponents' territory, the University team should have scored again. Three times Harvard reached the Indians' 5-yard line only to be put back, twice for off-side work and once for holding. The University team was splendid on the defence, blocking Thorpe's place-kick and allowing but little gain through the line. When the Indian team had rushed the ball to the 2-yard line, they were unable to gain again and lost the ball on downs. Both teams used the forward pass frequently. Harvard was particularly successful, while Carlisle failed on all but one. Cutler...

Cutler's punt went to Balenti, who ran back ten yards to the 50-yard line. The Indians here fumbled a forward pass, the ball going to Harvard. Carlisle was again penalized for off-side play, and the ball was advanced...

A double pass finally went forward to Wauseuka for eleven yards' gain. Thorpe reached the 5-yard line on the next play, but a forward pass went wrong, putting the ball on the 25-yard line. Another attempted forward pass went into Browne's hands. A penalty put Harvard on the 1-yard line, and Cutler punted to Thorpe, who was thrown by Crowley...
...After kicking out of bounds once, MacKay kicked off to Thorpe, who ran outside on the 22-yard line. The Indians failed to gain on line plays, and Thorpe was forced to punt to Cutler on Harvard's 33-yard line. Leslie made six yards, and was followed by White, who, with MacKay's interference, made twenty-five yards. Leslie in the next three rushes took the ball twenty seven yards by splendid plunging. Then two penalties for off-side play gave the ball to Carlisle. Leslie received the ball to Carlisle. Leslie received the ball from Thorpe in midfield...
