...Westerners failed to uncork any weird plays or aerial attacks, the home eleven gained assurance, and played, in the second half, an aggressive game which netted three touchdowns in the 24 minutes of play. The fact that the Westerners neither gained a first down nor advanced the pigskin across midfield, shows that their offense was powerless against the Crimson forwards...
Horween kicked off for Harvard, and after line-bucks by Dandalet failed, Bradley punted to Johnson, who ran it back 20 yards, almost to midfield. Horween broke through the Valparaiso line, but fell and Dandalet was on him before he could get up. After another play failed, Humphrey punted across the goal line after Gilbert had punted.

Eight yard dashes by Chapin and Johnson, topped by line plunges by Horween and Owen respectively, gave the University two first downs, and threatened the seconds' goal. Here, Johnson was nabbed for a loss before he could get rid of a pass, and, in spite of two successful forward passes, the ball went to the scrubs on downs...
