Harvard scored almost immediately at the opening of the game. Although Upton handled Hallowell's kick-off very well, Bowdoin was forced to punt. After one poor pass by Swett, Upton punted out at his own thirty-yard line.

At Sumae's Point the school eight had pulled up even...

...characterized by the loose fielding of both teams and heavy batting on the part of Harvard. Lewis and Sears were again tried at first and left field respectively, and both showed up exceedingly well. Lewis played an errorless fielding game and made a home run.
