Immediately after the beginning of the second three-quartes, Kendall made a touchdown catching the ball from the Stevens' back before he could touch it down. The ball was lost however in the punt out. The ball kept rapidly changing hands, the play being very loose on both sides. After a time Cabot securing the ball made a fine run, but was unable to gain a touchdown. Harvard's loose playing at this point was varied by some very fine passing, which, however, proved disastrous in one instance, the ball being passed into the hands of one of the Stevens...

The game closed with the score in Harvard's favor after a hard contest...
