...when the Dartmouth backs again began their fierce attack. Aided by penalties and a 25 yards run by Vaughan, they carried the ball down to Harvard's 25-yard line before they met with any show of resistance. Bowditch broke up a play around his end and the subsequent loss enabled Harvard to obtain the ball on downs. Kernan fumbled a moment later, but though the ball was regained it was with a loss and Harvard was obliged to punt. Kernan made a beautiful 65 yards kick which on the return that followed resulted in a gain of 30 yards...
...gain around right end and Knowlton scored the touchdown on a 10 yard plunge. After the kick-off, Stillman punted to the Freshman team's 25 yard line, and after a few plays, Barnard blocked a punt and fell on the ball 15 yards from the goal line. The loss of five yards for offside play prevented a touchdown, and Marshall tried a field goal. It was blocked; Whitman picked up the ball and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. After the kick-off, the Freshmen held the ball for seven downs because of offside play by the University eleven...
...advance by rushes. The old fault of fumbling appeared again in exaggerated form, and often with serious results. There was seemingly an increased desire to help the runner, but this good quality lacked the merit of regularity,-as sometimes the man with the ball was thrown for a loss for want of careful or effective interference.

The line showed some improvement but could do no more than hold its own, as the lighter...
...full use of the opportunities afforded to score. At the very start, the ball was carried, principally by means of Kernan's 40 yard run around right end, to Brown's 33 yard line, but Graydon was unable to gain on a centre play. Hurley was thrown for a loss of 4 yards and, in order that the ball might be kept, it was taken back 16 yards to the middle of the field. There Kernan lost the ball on a fumble, but on the next play he tackled Barry for a 5-yard loss, and after a short gain...
...loss of these points to Harvard gives the victory in the meet to Yale and the scores of the leading colleges now stand: Yale, 33; Harvard, 29; Princeton, 27. This credits Yale with five victories on the cup and leaves Harvard and Pennsylvania tied with four each. As the ownership of the trophy is to be decided by the track meet next spring, if either Harvard or Pennsylvania wins the award will be a tie. The way Schick's disqualification has changed the score is as follows: In the 100 yards dash, Moulton (Y.) moves from fourth to third place...
