Towards the end of the first half, Harvard carried the ball nearly the entire length of the field for a touchdown. Pierce scored from the 10-yard line and Frothingham kicked the goal. Yale showed decided improvement at the beginning of the second half. They advanced the ball forty yards by straight rushing, in which Messenger made the greatest gains. This was followed by an exchange of punts. Yale took the ball again near the middle of the field and rushed it to Harvard's 20-yard line. A place kick was tried, but Smith who held the ball fumbled...
...touchdowns in the second. Princeton's only score was made in the first half by Tibbott, after two spectacular runs. During this half the ball was in Yale's territory the greater part of the time; and the nearest Yale got to Princeton's goal was the 13-yard line, where, a forward pass failing, the ball went to Princeton on downs...

...very even, and although Harvard was outplaying its opponents in the second half, it was not until the last few minutes of the game that Harvard's touchdown was made. It came as the result of a series of rushes and forward passes from Harvard's own 24-yard line, the best exhibition of football Harvard has shown this year. Three beautiful forward passes and consistent gains by Leslie, Ver Wiebe and Smith brought the ball to Dartmouth's 3-yard line, from where Leslie plunged across the goal line...
...forward passes, which Cutler and Fish executed cleverly. It was the fight and snap which the University team put into their play that won the game. Dartmouth was by far the strongest eleven that Harvard has met this year, and made splendid fight. They depended mainly upon the old line-plunging game, however, and the two teams were too evenly matched for consistent gains through the line. The game was remarkably clean throughout, and there were few penalties...
