...Butt and Gilbert fumbled constantly and on the defense were very weak. Butt in particular was drawn in on almost every end play and as a result, Colton and Honhart made repeated gains around his end. He was slow in starting and his tackling was poor. Not a single punt was caught by the University backfield, Butt, Gilbert and Starr all being to blame...
...ground and they were penalized to their 35-yard line. Honbart dropped back to kick, but the ball was passed over his head and he recovered it on the 15-yard line. Another fumbled pass put the ball back to the 3-yard line, from where Honhart punted to Butt, who fumbled, Springfield recovering the ball. A series of forward passes was then tried, which worked the ball down to Harvard's 43-yard line, where the ball was lost on an onside kick to Rand. Burr punted to Springfield's 27-yard line, and after one play...

Two line plays were tried, but the University team held. A penalty for offside play then put the ball on the 1-yard line from where White rushed it over through right guard...
...penalty for holding then put the ball back 15 yards and Newhall made an onside kick which the Navy secured. Harvard got the ball again, and Burr caught Newhall's forward pass, running it to the 15-yard line. Here Harvard was held for downs on line plays. Douglass punted on the first down. Newhall tried a forward pass from Annapolis' 45-yard line, but Lange got the ball. Douglass then made a pretty 25-yard end run and kicked on the next play. Parker blocked the ball, W. Peirce recovered it and car- ried it over for the goal...
