...offensive work did not give the backs any opportunity to gain. The backs had practically no interference for end runs and did not help each other through the line as they should have done. The tackling and open field playing of all the men was loose and careless, and near the end of the game Glidden and Cooper of the second team were allowed to make dodging runs of forty yards through the whole team...
...first touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal. For the rest of the half Harvard was unable to force the ball over the line again. Once it was taken to the fifteen yard line and again to the five yard line, but fumbles by Putnam and Kendall prevented scoring.

Near the end of the game the first team rushed the ball to the twenty five yard line, and Kernan tried a goal from the field, but Sargent passed the ball back over his head, causing a loss of twenty yards. The game then ended. The final reduction of the squad will...
