...start of the game Exeter tried for a field goal, which failed. Shortly afterwards H. L. Whitney blocked a punt in the middle of the field and the ball was carried over for a touchdown by straight rushing. J. R. Litchfield made the second Freshman touchdown by also blocking a punt and falling on it after it had rolled over the goal line. F. S. Johnson scored the third on a quarterback run in the second half. R. G. Hadley kick all three goals...
...gave the Freshmen their ultimate advantage. The last quarter opened with the score 21 to 6 in favor of 1920, but Exeter swept the Freshmen off their feet scoring twice in the ten minutes of the period. The last of these scores was made by Jordan who caught a punt and ran 50 yards through a broken field...
Brown scored two touchdowns in the first period, the first coming after a steady march down the field and the second on a long forward pass. The next score was made by Murphy, the Brown quarterback, who caught a punt and ran 85 yards, helped by splendid interference, for a touchdown.

They were only partially successful with their passing game, for out of 16 passes tried, only...

For the remainder of the period the University contented itself with trying a few rushes and then punting, and the Southerners did the same. At the beginning of the next period, however, Minot ran back one of Thurman's punts from his own 40 to the visitors 30-yard line, from which point Bond kicked a goal after it had been found impossible to gain a first down...
