...second half Yale started off well and rushed the ball down the field, but Fahnestock stopped two goals in quick succession. A few minutes later Leland ran the ball over half the length of the field and scored again for Harvard. A penalty gave Harvard a free kick and Leland kicked the third goal...

Leland and Chadwick excelled on the offence for Harvard and Cushing on the defence. The summary: HARVARD. W. W. M.
