...game started with 1901 in possession of the ball. A strong wind was blowing directly against the Freshmen and prevented them from gaining ground on punts as '99 often did. Hallowell kicked off and '99 returned the punt. Again 1901 kicked but failed to gain ground and the ball was almost on 1901's line. In the next play Jaynes got the ball but was forced back and downed behind his own goal. This safety was made within two minutes of start of play. On the next start Jaynes fumbled badly and 1901 seemed to be thoroughly demoralized. '99 broke...
...full-back Haughton's punting with the wind was excellent. His punts were not only long and well placed, but high enough to enable the ends to get down the field. His rushing lacked impetus and on the whole was only fair...
...first half the second eleven took the side with the wind, and with long runs by Bull, and plunges through tackle, brought the ball twice to Andover's five-yard line, where A. R.

In the second half, Bull made a long run from the middle of the field to the ten-yard line from which Wadsworth carried the ball over for a touchdown. Brown kicked his third goal. Burdick broke through the line onto a clear field but was tackled...
...Harvard game two weeks ago was an indication of their strength. It was expected that the score would be close, but a tie was not hoped for at West Point. Yale was on the defensive almost throughout and but for McBride's punting, aided by a strong wind, the cadets would have made more than one touchdown. It was clear that on the whole the Yale team was the weaker...
...fumbling of her backs was pitiful. Time and again she lost the ball in this way. '99 played very much better in this respect, but was weak in her center plays. In the first half the team was run badly, particularly in not taking advantage of the wind and sending the plays against ninety-eight's centre, which was her strongest point. For '99, W. Adams played a splendid all round game...
