...poor execution of a trick formation and holding in the line. Harvard then recovered the ball on downs and afterwards, by straight football only, was able to send Meier, Pruyn and Lindsay across the line for touchdowns with but little resistance from Yale. Hutchinson kicked the three goals. The rest of the game was characterized by a slight spurt on the part of Yale which, however, resulted in nothing more than keeping Harvard from further scoring. In this stage of the game Winslow, Cross and Jennings did good work for Yale...

His fumbles were costly and lost a great deal of ground. The playing of the ends was the worst done this year. Ristine, Clark and Bowditch were all easily boxed and were not watchful enough in stopping trick plays...

...carried it across the line. Soon after the next kick-off Rainsford had a chance for place-kick goal from the first team's thirty yard line, but failed. The first team could not gain after this because of the frequent fumbles, holdings, and off side plays, and the rest of the time was given up to almost continual punting...
