Good Work by Corbett in Second Period...
...first play of this period was Lewis's attempt at a drop-kick, which failed. West Point rushed from the 25-yard line and made its only first down on a tackle plunge by Dean. He tried the same play once more but could not gain and punted to Corbett. The latter, aided by the good interference of Morrison and Potter, ran from his 30-yard line to the Army's 45-yard line. Two plays netted 5 yards and Potter punted over the goal line. After one rush from the 25-yard line, Dean kicked to Harvard...

Frothingham again failed in an attempt at a drop-kick. West Point punted on the first play from the 25-yard line and Wigglesworth was downed on his 50-yard line. It took eight rushes for the University team to put the ball on the 14-yard line, and a well executed forward pass from Potter to L. D. Smith advanced the ball...
