...team played in poorer form than at any time this season, and by inexcusably frequent fumbling and carelessness almost lost the game. In the first half neither team scored, Brown losing the ball on Harvard's twenty yard line and Harvard fumbling it on Brown's five yard line. In the first part of the second half Harvard played a little faster and scored twice, but the men soon became slow and careless again, and Brown made a touchdown on a simple trick play...

Stillman fumbled the kick-off, and Brown secured the ball on Harvard's thirty-five yard line. Washburn made two short gains, and then on a well-played double pass Scudder cleared Clark's end and ran thirty yards for a touchdown. Bates kicked the goal...
