...drop-kicks but failed. Both sides were strong on the defence, but displayed no great offensive strength. The Annapolis team, aided by a strong wind, tried a punting game at the start of the first period, and was soon enabled to try a place-kick. In the second quarter, a long onside kick placed the ball well within the Army's territory, and allowed Dalton to make two more attempts to score. The only consistent strength of attack was shown in the third period, when the Annapolis backs tore through West Point's line, gaining 70 yards in nine plays...
...second half opened with Morrison in Leslie's place and Wigglesworth back at quarter. Wendell ran back the kick-off 22 yards to the 33-yard line and after the next play, Harvard punted to Howe, who was downed on his 23-yard line by Smith after running back 7 yards. On good line plunging by Daly, Kistler and Field, Yale carried the ball just across the middle of the field, where Daly fumbled. Harvard punted at once and during the rest of the period Yale never had the ball in Harvard's territory. After Field had made first down...

West Point made the first touchdown after intercepting a forward pass, and Dean later kicked a field goal from the 38-yard line. In the last quarter Kilpatrick made a 20-yard run to West Point's 24-yard line, whence Daly scored a drop-kick...
...last Saturday, the Yale team seemed to make a wonderful recovery from its slump of the week before, and, aided by the individual work of Kilpatrick and Howe, the latter having returned to his old position of quarter back, defeated Princeton by the score of 5 to 3. Yale's only score was a touchdown by Kilpatrick after he oaught a long forward pass from Howe. On the other hand, the team-work showed only slight improvement from the week before...
