Princeton kicked off to Brickley on the 15-yard line and he ran it in almost to mid-field. Punts were exchanged until Harvard recovered a fumbled kick on Princeton's 40-yard line. Brickley missed the drop-kick and it was Princeton's ball on its 25-yard line. Harvard recovered an onside kick on Princeton's 40-yard and a 25-yard run by Brickley put the ball on the 15-yard line. Brickley made a drop-kick from an easy angle. Before the game ended Brickley netted two more drop-kicks from difficult angles. The summary follows...
...proved rather slow, except for two good runs by Spang, and one by Logan. After team A had scored twice the regular first team lined up against the second, Pennock and Trumbull being in the line again after a few days' rest. The ball was put in play in mid-field and steadily advanced to within 30 yards of the second team's goal. Here a clever forward pass from Logan to Handy brought the first team within striking distance, and on the next play Francke made a touchdown. The second team was given the ball on their 20-yard...
...which the forward pass was often used. The first and second teams then lined up for a 25-minute scrimmage. The second team was given the ball in the centre of the field, and after a few minutes of hard play the first team took the offensive and worked down the field for a touchdown.

At first the attack was not effective and Potter was forced to take to the forward pass. This style of play, one pass to Smith and another to Felton, for a total of 40 yards, placed the ball on the second's 15-yard line. Here Potter dropped back for a try at a drop-kick but the second team broke through and blocked the ball. With the exception of a short signal session at the end of the next period...
...touchdown. The field-goal was not attempted. The ball was given to the second team on the substitutes' 25-yard line, whence Saltonstall missed a try at a drop-kick. At this point the substitutes seemed to brace and, starting on their own 25-yard line, in-seven rushes advanced the ball the remaining distance across their opponents' goal-line. Pierce contributed most of the ground gaining by a remarkable exhibition of dodging through a broken field for 45 yards. Lingard carried the ball over on an end-around play. Again the ball went to mid-field and the substitutes...
