...among the best representatives of an unfortunate, but manly and dignified race; and they should receive from all spectators here, and especially from Harvard men, that courteous and respectful treatment which they are perfectly able to exact from the players who meet them hand to hand in the line-up. Of course no insult to the visitors was intended; but to make their customs an object of ridicule in so public a way, and in their very faces, was a piece of arrogance which, though not purposely offensive, must have cut deep into Indian sensibilities. Very truly yours, EDWIN...

After an exchange of kicks to Harvard's favor and an off-side play by Carlisle, Ellis rushed the ball to the Indian's 20-yard line on a fake kick, and by successful line-plunges, carried it to the five yard line. Here Carlisle held for two downs when Daly scored on a clever criss-cross, and Lawrence kicked the goal. Soon after the kick-off the Indians were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian...
...beginning of the second half, Daly returned Pierce's kick-off and Ellis secured the ball on a fumble. On the next exchange of punts Daly made a fair catch on the 47 yard line. Although Burnett missed this try at goal, he kicked one a minute later from the 37 yard line. Offside play by Harvard gave the ball to Carlisle, who rushed it to the 40 yard line, where Hudson missed a difficult goal. More punting followed in Hallowell's favor, until he finally secured the ball on a fumble. This enabled Kendall to score, and Daly kicked...
