...backfield was made up entirely of new men, who, as might have been expected, were uncertain and did not display much team work, although they played hard and ran fairly well. The plays were all simple with the exception of two forward passes, and the lack of variety did not give them a chance to show their real ability. The defense used during yesterday's game, four men in the line and the ends playing out, was moderately successful, but was hardly given a fair trial...
Browne at quarterback did good work and handled the ball well, especially on the forward passes. Cutler, who took his place in the last half, ran the team in good shape and helped the runners. Smith at halfback, although slow and uncertain, was a good ground gainer and kept his feet. White and Sprague both showed up well in the second half, particularly the latter, whose punt over the heads of the Bowdoin backs was a feature of the game...
...Smith kicked off to Browne, who ran the ball back to the 15-yard line. In the first play Bowdoin was offside and was penalized five yards. Graydon went around left end for nine yards, and Burr punted to Bowdoin on the 40-yard line. King gained six yards through right guard and Gastonquay tried the centre for no gain. Bowdoin lost the ball by a fumble and Graydon and Smith both failed to gain at right tackle. Harvard was penalized ten yards for holding and Burr punted to Bowdoin on their 35-yard line. F. Smith made three yards...

Bowdoin punted to Cutler, who was downed on the 40-yard line. Sprague and Vogel were making good gains through the line when time was called...
...Cashen's sacrifice, and third on Larkin's out, Hicks to Harding. Barry then singled sharply to left, scoring the run, but Mansfield was out, Leonard to Harding. Harvard then proceeded to tie the score by Leonard's brilliant work. After waiting for a base on balls, he ran down to second, starting just as the catcher was throwing the ball to the pitcher. Mansfield's throw to second was too late, as Leonard made a neat slide. McCall then bunted, putting Leonard on third, but getting out himself. Harvey hit a short fly to right field, and Leonard ran...
