...Saturday by a score of 22 to 0. The Technology team was crippled by the loss of three good men, while the Athletic team averaged ten pounds heavier. The Athletics had the kick off and gained twenty yards. Within six minutes they had pushed the ball over the line for the first touchdown. In the first half they scored another touchdown and goal, and were only prevented from making more points by Technology's desperate work. In the second half the Athletics soon secured the ball and after a good run by Morrison, Curtis made another touchdown from which...
...when the Yale team had the wind at its back, their kicking tactics were very successful and kept Harvard on the defensive a considerable part of the time. But in the game as a whole the Harvard eleven easily demonstrated its superiority to the New Haven team. The rush line work of the freshmen, especially during the first half, was excellent. The whole line played steadily, and Hallowell, Upton and Ellsworth aroused enthusiasm again and again by their brilliant work in breaking through the opposing line and tackling. Back of the line Kendricken played a cool, steady game at quarter...

Harvard had the west end of the field with the sun and wind at her back, and Yale was in possession of the ball. Yale opened the game with a V, Barbour holding the ball; by this maneuver they gained ten yards. Upton broke through the Yale line finely on the next two scrimmages, and prevented any gain.

Several short rushes followed. Upton then took the ball...
...second half began at 3.15, Harvard having the ball. Kendricken gained ten yards. Trafford punted well, and Dibblee's beautiful tackle forced Bliss to have the ball down on Yale's five yard line. Owsley's excellent kicking averted the danger from Yale's goal for a short time, but Frothingham and Fearing soon brought the ball back again into dangerous proximity to Yale's goal. Davis was doing good work in the line at this time. Often he broke through and prevented Yale's backs from making any gain. The ball was now on Yale's twenty yard line...
