...Saturday afternoon by the score of 10 to 0. At no time during the game was the victory in doubt, and twice the University team lost good opportunities to score. Burr's goal from placement on Williams's 43-yard line was the feature of the game, and his punting gave Harvard a constant advantage throughout the game. During the first half the play was fairly even; the offence of both teams was weak, and they were frequently forced to punt. During the last half, after the second set of backs were put in, the University team played its best...
Page's short punt went outside, and after Long and Leslie had made four yards apiece through right tackle, Galatti made a pretty forward pass to Cutting, who carried the ball over the line for the second touchdown. At this point the teams were almost entirely substituted, and the rest of the scrimmage consisted of an exchange of punts and on-side kicks...
Harvard's first two touchdowns were made in the first eight minutes of play after Hoar had blocked Kearney's punt on the Bates 20-yard line. Harvard got the ball on the 15-yard line, Corbett went around left end for seven yards and White made four yards through left tackle. Corbett tried right guard for two yards and Smith carried the ball through the same place for the first touchdown. Burr kicked the goal. Kearney kicked off again to Corbett who picked the ball up on the 5-yard line and with splendid interference ran the whole length...

...Jones received Burr's kick-off and ran the ball back 10 yards to the 30-yard line. Coy punted outside to Harvard's 25-yard line. On a fake kick Apollonio gained three yards through centre. Newhall dropped back to punt, but the Yale team, expecting a fake play, were taken off their guard and Macdonald, by fast work, recovered the ball on Yale's 20-yard line. In two plays Wendell gained only two yards and Parker tried a goal from the field, but the ball went to Jones on the 6-yard line...
