Harvard won the toss and chose to play against the wind, which consequently kept her on the defensive throughout the greater pat of the first half, except for an occasional apart in which she would carry the ball the length of the field only to lose it by lack of team-play. Fahnestock's work at goal prevented Andover's attempts at scoring during this half...
Yale won the toss and Coy chose to defend the south goal, giving Yale the advantage of the wind. At 2.04 o'clock Mckay made a short kick-off to Lilley on Yale's 35- yard line. Minot tackled Lilley so hard that the latter was obliged to leave the field, Paul taking his place at right tackle. Because Trainer Donovan came on the field, Harvard was penalized 15 yards before play was resumed. Philbin made four yards around right end, then Coy punted to O'Flaherty who fumbled and Hobbs recovered the ball for Yale on Harvard...
West Point won the toss and acting-captain Byrne chose to receive the kick off at the north end, having the wind at his back. P.

A quarterback run gained seven yards, three line plays netted 17 yards more, but Harvard was penalized for offside play, leaving the ball on West Point's 50-yard line. Here O'Flaherty sent a forward...

Smith gained fourteen yards through centre. After two line plays, O'Flaherty tried a forward pass, but was tackled before he could get the ball away and fumbled, Keaney recovering the ball for Bates...
