Play began at 2.47 o'clock, Harvard having the ball and the east goal. Harding rushed, and aided by good blocking and clever dodging on his own part, carried the ball twenty yards; short rushes by Goldthwaite, Lee, Blanchard, and Harding again, carried the ball well down towards Wesleyan's goal line, but here Harvard lost the ball for holding in the line. Lee secured the ball on Hall's punt, and again it was forced down the field only to be lost again for the same offence. At this point Harding was injured, and Dennison took his place...
Wesleyan began the second half by a rush, but Stickney secured the ball from Peck. Lee, Dennison and Blanchard forced the ball rapidly towards Wesleyan's line, and Dennison finally by a clever rush had the ball down within three yards of the line, but the referee decided that Harvard had forfeited the ball for interference at the fifteen yard line. The ball was soon secured again, and forced close to Wesleyan's line, but lost for off-side play. Saxe stopped Hall's punt, and Dean and Cumnock dropped on the ball. Lee found the hole made...
...tackling also was high and anything but effective. Johnson as full-back played a fine rushing and kicking game, and he and Kendricken and Ellsworth did about all the work in tackling. Exeter started off with the ball and by good rushing brought it up to Harvard's ten yard line where '93 secured it. Johnson kicked well and the game was soon in the middle of the field. Ritchie gained 15 yards for Exeter, but Stothers was forced to kick the ball and Brice had it down for Harvard. Fairchild, Parker and Johnson forced ahead and Johnson ran around...

Word kicked a difficult goal. Score, Harvard 10, Exeter 6. Kendricken made a good gain for '93 when the ball was put in play and Johnson punted well. Stothers returned the ball, and Parker made a good rush. Fairchild found a hole in the rush line...
