From the next kick-off the ball again approached Princeton's line, and from a fumble by Baker Kendall scored a touchdown for Harvard, but the try-for-goal was a failure. The inning closed with the score 7 to 6 in Harvard's favor, exactly the same as the final score last year, and Harvard began to feel victory near at hand.

...scoring and though at times they played hard the steady playing of their opponents beat them back. Before the game the Andover men considered defeat an almost foregone conclusion and not until the close of the three-quarters did many entertain expectations of victory. Andover made in all five touchdowns from which one goal was kicked. Three of the touchdowns were made by Knowlton, the centre rush, whose effective playing did every thing for his side. Toward the end of the last three-quarters Stearns got a very pretty goal from the field, and soon after Wallace ran directly through...
