...first half, Andover played at her best. The ball was rushed to Harvard's seven-yard line, but there the Freshmen braced and obtained the ball on downs. After that, until the end of the half, neither goal was in danger. When the second half began, the Freshmen showed a decided improvement. They carried the ball the length of the field on straight rushes, but, just as they were within striking distance of Andover's goal, off side play by Nickerson lost the ball.
