Curtis made the touchdown in two rushes, and Hazard missed the goal...
...were inflicted, including the one which sent Wendell off the field for roughness. It was owing to Newhall's judgement in using a kicking game from this point on that Harvard won the game. With the ball in the possession of the University eleven on its 30-yard line, Burr punted, Schwartz downing the ball for Brown on his 49-yard line. On the second play Harvard got the ball on a fumble on Brown's 50-yard line, and Burr again punted to Schwartz, who ran out of bounds on the 17-yard line, but the ball was taken...
