The Harvard gains were made by steady plunges through the centre, while St. Mark's gained around the end, Benjamin scoring the touchdown by a brilliant sixty yard run around Harvard's right end. The freshmen played a rather loose game and their tackling was very poor, but they succeeded well in breaking up the strong interference of the opposing team. The Harvard team lined up as follows...
