...second team had possession of the ball only twice and did not gain a yard by rushing. The first eleven on the other hand, gained almost at will, and was never far from the goal line. In the first half the ball was carried twice to the ten-yard line, only to be lost on fumbles, and in the second half also, Daly very narrowly missed a goal from the field. In both halves, however, the first team had great difficulty in gaining when in their opponents' territory, owing to the plucky defensive work of the second eleven. The interference...
...first eleven began the game well. Ellis and E. Kendall made ten yards through the line, and on the third play the latter got around left end for fifty yards before being tackled on the ten-yard line. The second team got the ball on a fumble, and punted to the middle of the field. Sawin then circled right end for twenty-five yards, but failed in an attempt at a drop-kick goal from the thirty-five yard line. The second team again punted to the middle of the field, and Sawin ran it back twenty yards...
...first half. Once the first eleven rushed the ball up to the second's goal-line, but was unable to push it across. Although R. Lawrence was outpunted by Sawin, poor tackling by Campbell and Hallowell allowed the second eleven to take the ball twice to the first's ten-yard line. Strong defensive work, however, prevented scoring...

During the remainder of the half, Harvard scored a second time by steady gains through the opposing line. At no time was the Harvard goal in danger. In the second half, by the same line-bucking tactics, Harvard secured the ball several times on West Point's ten-yard line, but only once, was able to score. Lawrence kicked all three goals...
...second half Wesleyan prevented a large score by stronger playing. Hallowell wrenched his shoulder after excellent defensive work and had to retire from the game, and Boal continued his efficiency without decrease. One touchdown was scored. Ellis made a run of forty yards to the ten-yard line, when three plunges carried the ball across the goal line. Parker made the touchdown and Lawrence kicked the third goal...
