Soon after the start of the play, Creede kicked to Potter who ran the ball 10 yards to his 35-yard line. From this point consistent gains, mostly through tackle, carried, the ball over for a touchdown. Corbett made 26 yards and Morrison got 9 more. After three plays by Corbett and Morrison, Wendell took Corbett's place and in two downs put the ball on the 4-yard line. Morrison scored on the next play, and Frothingham kicked the goal...
During the first five minutes of play the University team's line was put on the defensive inside its 5-yard line for the first time this season. One of Corbett's kicks was blocked. Roberts picked up the ball and dashed for the goal line 30 yards away, but he was tackled by Morrison on the 3-yard line. Amherst then tried three line plays, Abele going against the right side of the line twice and Seaman trying left guard. Neither attempt, however, gained an inch, and Corbett punted out of danger...
Harvard's play was more developed than in the Williams game. The backs especially were very effective, particularly through the tackle positions, where Corbett and Wendell made long gains time after time. The defence showed up strongly against the light Amherst line but it has not yet really been tested against opponents of equal weight. The interference, both for the backs and for the man running in a punt, was very effective against the opposing tacklers. The playing of the ends, especially of L.

Captain Withington won the toss and received Creede's kick on the 20-yard line, making only 5 yards before being downed. Corbett got 8 yards but Morrison failed to gain, so Corbett kicked to Fitts on Amherst's 46-yard line. Abele could not gain around right end and L. Smith threw Madden for a loss on a forward pass, compelling Creede to punt. Corbett ran to Harvard's 40-yard line before he was downed. Amherst lost 5 yards for offside on the next play but Morrison could not gain. Corbett therefore punted, but Harvard was offside...
