Dalton made the only score of the game by a goal from placement, at the beginning of the fourth period. He had previously made six unsuccessful attempts. Dean of West Point tried two drop-kicks but failed. Both sides were strong on the defence, but displayed no great offensive strength. The Annapolis team, aided by a strong wind, tried a punting game at the start of the first period, and was soon enabled to try a place-kick. In the second quarter, a long onside kick placed the ball well within the Army's territory, and allowed Dalton to make...
...Harvard scored by two touchdowns, two goals from touchdowns, and two drop-kicks. Dartmouth had only one opportunity during the entire game to score, and that came in the second period. It was Dartmouth's ball on Harvard's 31-yard line, and Barends dropped back to attempt a placement kick. Both Fisher and Withington broke through and Withington blocked the ball, Fisher recovering it and carrying it to Dartmouth's 23-yard line before being tackled. From this time on Dartmouth never got nearer than 53 yards to the University team's goal-line. The work of the University...

Smith, however, broke through, blocked the kick and ran 48 yards to Cornell's 26-yard line before he was caught. As the next two plays were failures in the line, Potter attempted and accomplished a neat drop-kick from the 24-yard...

...back-hand. He lost the next point, however, driving the ball out. The next two went to Sweetser on double faults, leaving the latter within one point of the match. Fraser-Campbell rose to the occasion by winning the next point on a hard smash after a clever placement. With the score at deuce, Sweetser drove the ball into the net. He brought the score back to deuce again, only to lose the next two points and the game. This was Fraser-Campbell's last stand, for he won only a single point in the last game, losing the last...
