...touchdown was made after several long runs, Kernan making one of twenty-five yards around right end. Only a few minutes remained after the third kick-off, and because of a great deal of fumbling in the backfield the first team was unable to score.

Soon after the opening of the second half Harvard got the ball on downs on Brown's thirty yard line, and a short gain by Kernan took it to the twenty-five yard line.
