...game was largely a punting one. Torney kicked well for West Point, especially in the first half, but on the whole was outclassed by LeMoyne, who got off some very long punts. The latter's punt of nearly 60 yards from Harvard's 11-yard line in the beginning of the second half removed the only serious menace to the University's goal line...
...ball on West Point's 12-yard line. From there West Point advanced it by short rushes to its own 36-yard line, making three first downs, but here was forced to kick. An offside play on the first attempt cost West Point 10 yards, and then Torney punted the ball out of bounds to the 47-yard line. Hanley made a short gain. Nichols went 8 yards through Riley and Thompson, but in the next play lost the ball on a fumble. West Point was unable to make its distance and attempted to punt, but lost the ball...

On the next play he punted and Amherst ran back the kick to her own 52-yard line. Amherst made several gains, one through Coburn for 6 yards, but was finally forced to kick. Hurley fumbled and Palmer got the ball on Harvard's 12-yard line. In two rushes Amherst made no gain, and Lewis tried...
Hurley also made several long gains, running in one punt, by clever dodging, for 50 yards. Le Moyne was in again at left end on the University team and was given special coaching by J. W. Hallowell '01. His punt of 45 yards against a strong wind was one of the best features of the afternoon's practice. Carrick was not over-keen, but waked up somewhat at the end of the play. For the second, Shurtleff and Harrison played a spirited game. A. Marshall was upon the field, but did not put on football clothes...
