...three points by a drop-kick from the 25-yard line, substitutes were put in, but the offence was not materially weakened. Cornell had the ball in Harvard's territory only twice and during the entire game was able to make but two first downs. Of the eight forward passes which the University team attempted, six were successful, netting a total gain of 70 yards. Touchdowns resulted from two of them. Cornell tried two passes and lost the ball on both attempts. On one the ball went out of bounds, and the second time Withington intercepted the pass...
...Smith and Lewis did the best work. Their tackling was not as sure as in the West Point game, but the slippery condition of the field prevented fast play. L. D. Smith made two long runs, one on which he made a touchdown after receiving a forward pass on the 34-yard line, and another of 46 yards after a blocked kick...
...regained the catch fumbled by Butler. The former made 7 yards around left end, and Simson netted only two through centre. O'Connor then made it first down through right tackle. Bates was thrown for a loss, and on the next play Harvard regained the ball on a forward pass which went out of bounds. Three successive rushes by Wendell netted 26 yards, and Morrison made five more through right tackle, placing the ball on Cornell's 30-yard line. A forward pass, Potter to L. D. Smith, gave Harvard the ball on the 18-yard line and a penalty...

A forward pass from Wigglesworth to Graustein netted 14 yards, and several well directed plays in the line placed the ball in the possession of the University team on the Freshmen's 14-yard line. The ball was then given to the Freshmen, but the University line allowed them very little gain. At the end of a short attempt by 1914 to advance the ball, both elevens were sent to the Locker Building...
...second team braced for a short time, but its line was weak, and the substitutes' backs made long gains, advancing the ball after the kick-off to the seconds' 40-yard line. A forward pass and four more line plays put the ball on the 3-yard line, whence Wendell scored again...
