...sailors could not gain on the kickoff and punted to J. G. Coolidge '20 who ran the ball to the 45 yard line. Again the line smashing attack was ordered, which, together with a 10 yard end run by Works, gave Horween the chance to score the second touchdown. He again kicked the goal...
...Sherman '20, received the kickoff and ran it back 40 yards before he was downed. The Freshmen tried plunges, passes and hidden ball plays, but were unable to advance and lost the ball on downs, after which both sides punted back and forth. C. E. Works '19 then intercepted a forward pass and ran to the 20-yard line but the seconds could make no headway and the ball was the Freshmen's. J. S. Higgins '20 got off a long punt which rolled to the second team's 30-yard line, but the seconds had succeeded in working...

It was in this period also that McKinlock negotiated a difficult drop standing on the 42-yard line. On the next kickoff, Rollins made a run-back of 42 yards, and followed it by a dash from the middle of the field across the goal. This spectacular run ended the scoring. In the fourth period, the ball see-sawed uneventfully, usually well back in Bates' territory...
