There was a strong wind blowing straight down the field, but otherwise the conditions were good. '99 chose the side with the wind and '98 kicked off. After a run around right end and through left tackle, Brown kicked and Vincent caught the ball for '98. '98 then lost the ball on downs and '99 kicked again. Riggs, after making some slight gains through centre and guard, fumbled and '99 got the ball. Adams then went through left tackle for twenty yards and Davis went around the right end for twenty more and a touchdown, and Adams kicked the goal...
...second half '98 had the wind and took advantage of it much more than '99 had done in the first. As often as '99 rushed the ball into ninety-eight's territory, Adams sent it back by some excellent kicking. After about five minutes play '99 kicked and got the ball on a fumble, and then W. Adams made a long run through left tackle. Davis at this point lost ten yards on an attempt at a fake play and injured his knee, Simpson taking his place...
...loose and ragged and only interesting from the point of view of the excellent game put up by the Freshmen. Their line, though weak on the defensive, was aggressive enough when rushing was resorted to, to erable their backs to make fair gains. Reid outpunted Warren aided by the wind, and the Freshmen ends were as good if not better than the 'Varsity's in getting down the field on punts. In this particular, Whitney especially excelled. Peyton played a strong game against Haskell, succeeding near the end of the half in opening a large hole through which Kendall staggered...
...Saturday by the score of 13 to 0 in a game which aside from being interesting and closely contested, was in many particulars remarkable. Had it not been for Dartmouth's poor judgment in the first half, in relying on her backs, instead of kicking, when a strong west wind was favoring them, the score would doubtless have been different. They were blindly led into this rushing game by finding the Harvard line unreliable during the first few minutes of play. The ball was quickly advanced to the 30 yard line and there Harvard held for downs. Overconfidence...
...sure gainer, but in no single instance did the interference get well together. In this particular, Haughton especially seemed to run aimlessly, and to have no settled idea as to the play and where he should be. In his kicking, he showed up promisingly. His punts, with the wind favoring, were not only long but very well placed and high enough to give the ends ample time to get down well. He was slow in starting however, and his rushing was mediocre. Brown aiso was slow. He fumbled a great deal and punted miserably. The offensive play of the backs...
