...blocking two kicks in succession. Harvard succeeded in scoring shortly after, and won the game by a goal from the field. No one left the Stadium with any doubt but that Springfield had unquestionably the better team, but the fortune of the game went against them and they lost a well-deserved victory...
...scrimmage, which lasted about fifteen minutes. Forchheimer received the kick-off and Sprague punted back to the second, who lost the ball on a fumble. Crocker was thrown for loss by Blanchard. The substitutes again got the ball and in a series of line plunges by Kennard and Forchheimer carried it down to the second's 5-yard line.

The next two holes went to Wilder because of his good approaches to the green, and he led by 4. The seventeenth hole went to Wilder, but Briggs got a good drive on the home hole and won easily, finishing the first round 4 down...
