First half-hour--Harvard wins the toss and selects the wind. Arnold kicks off for Yale, sending a long kick down the field. Leeds springs a trick not known at Yale: he kicks the ball back again. Yale again kicks and Leeds, catching, runs in for a touchdown. He kicks the goal. The ball is kicked off and Harvard soon has it in touch near Yale's goal. It is thrown in to Seamans, who kicks a goal from the field. Yale kicks off. Seamans runs in to Yale's goal, but stops 35 yards away and tries a drop...

Yale several times tried for a goal, but Nichols proved invincible...

A., tried hard to cut in on Tower at the first turn, but the latter ran well and held the inside. Burns made one more attempt to close in on and pass Tower, but failed. The Harvard man gradually opened up a lead, and started F. W. Capper '15 with a four yard advantage on Merrihew. Capper ran finely, and had no trouble...

Clean and hard-fought throughout by both teams, this contest which lasted as long as two ordinary ones, belonged to either team until the very last play.
