...Fargo again secured the ball but unluckily wrenched his ankle and was obliged to retire. His place was filled by Porter, while Noble took Porter's place at halfback. The freshmen by steady playing forced the ball threateningly near Exeter's goal, where instead of trying to secure a touch-down or a goal from the field, they wasted their energy in useless punting over Exter's goal line. Exeter then got a slight advantage by a good rush of Cook but the ball was returned by good punts from Eighty-eight's backs, and the freshmen might have scored...
...second-half opened brilliantly for the freshmen who by good rushes of Purdon and Holden forced the ball close to Exeter's goal line, where Porter by a fine rush secured a touch-down nearly behind the goal-posts from which Holden kicked a goal. At this point Exeter began to brace while Eighty-eight on the other hand showed her lack of staying power, especially in the rush line where the men left everything for the backs to do and did not even block their men in any shape. Moulton by a long rush brought the ball near Eighty...

The game opened at a little after three, and in two minutes Hurd of Harvard scored a touch down from which Holden kicked a goal. Quincy was next compelled to make a safety. Five minutes later a lively scrimmage took place in front of the goal post and resulted in a touchdown for Harvard by Woodman. No goal was kicked from this touchdown. The Quincy men were now decidedly...
...quickly and often disconcerted our halfbacks when trying to catch or kick the ball, In the second half the ball was gradually worked to the Harvard end of the field. Peabody tried to make a fair catch close to the goal post, but a Penn, man got the ball, touched behind the line and was granted a touch-down, the only score made during the game. The ball was not kicked between the posts and after it was brought out Harvard rushed it to the other end of the field and kept it there for the few minutes which remained...
