...mediocre game. They tackled well, but fumbled a great deal and ran too high. Only once, in the second half, did it seem likely that they would score, but the ball was lost and Brill quickly punted it out of danger. Exeter, on the other hand, played a sharp and fast game, but missed the chance to score by attempting four goals from the field, which were all unsuccessful. Had they adopted a line-plunging policy they might well have scored, for the Harvard eleven seemed unable to check their rushes. On the whole, the Freshmen played a poorer game...

Harvard scored after a few minutes of play. An exchange of punts in Harvard's favor and short and sharp rushes brought the ball to the twenty-five yard line. Fifteen yards by Parker around the end and short line plunges enabled Kendall to make a touchdown. Lawrence kicked the goal. Superiority in punting again made a score possible. Devens returned the kick-off and Wesleyan began to rush. Twice they gained through Lawrence and then punted to Kendall on the ten yard line. Kendall next cleared the end for twenty-five yards and Hallowell punted. On the return punt...
