Succeeding the next kick-off, both sides fumbled continually. After an exchange of kicks to Harvard's favor and an off-side play by Carlisle, Ellis rushed the ball to the Indian's 20-yard line on a fake kick, and by successful line-plunges, carried it to the five yard line. Here Carlisle held for two downs when Daly scored on a clever criss-cross, and Lawrence kicked the goal. Soon after the kick-off the Indians were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian...

...ball and kicked forty yards. '99 then kicked fifteen and '98 lost the ball on downs. W. Adams took the ball on a fake kick, like the play used by Newtowne against Harvard on Wednesday, and ran nearly the whole length of the field and scored the second touchdown, but failed to kick the goal. Towards the end of the half '98 came very near scoring by a run around right end, which was stopped by a brilliant tackle by Simpson. The game ended with the ball on ninety-nine's three-yard line...
