Captain Withington won the toss and chose the north goal. Yale kicked off to the 11-yard line and Felton ran it back 10 yards. Five yards were made through centre and then Felton punted to Howe, who ran the kick back 10 yards to the middle of the field. When he was tackled he fumbled, but Daly recovered the ball. No gain was made on an end run, so Howe punted to Corbett, who ran back 30 yards to midfield. On a line play by Leslie Harvard made first down, but on the next play Felton punted over...
Harvard immediately punted at the opening of the second period and on the next play the kick was returned to Wigglesworth on his 45-yard line. On a fast end run Corbett made 20 yards before he fumbled. Yale recovered the ball on her own 45-yard line. Field made 11 yards on the next play, but the ball was called back as a 15-yard penalty for holding was imposed. Daly, on the next play, however, made first down by a pretty 20-yard run. Yale then fumbled and it was Harvard's ball on her 46-yard line...
...Wigglesworth back at quarter. Wendell ran back the kick-off 22 yards to the 33-yard line and after the next play, Harvard punted to Howe, who was downed on his 23-yard line by Smith after running back 7 yards.

Never was the truth of the adage that a chain is as strong as its weakest link more conclusively demonstrated than on Saturday afternoon on Yale field. Except for a few minutes in the third period, the University team outplayed its opponents, but in spite of this, misplays blighted Harvard's hopes when they were highest. These mistakes showed the weak links in the chain which gave way under the strain...
