Several of the decisions of the referee were disputed by one or the other of the teams, and two in particular seemed rather peculiar, one by which Wesleyan scored her touchdown and one by which our men scored through a touch in goal. It seems nearer correct that the score should be two goals to nothing in our favor. Saxe and Beattys played very well for the home team, while Adams and Cabot's running, together with the steady play of Appleton gained the chief advantage for Harvard. Wesleyan has improved rapidly since her former game with us and before...

...ball well down the field. But the freshmen pressed them rapidly back, and soon Cowling kicked a goal from the field, making the first score for Harvard. Shortly afterward Fiske made a touchdown by sharp playing, and Willard kicked the second goal. The rest of the three quarters was rather uninteresting, marked by poor tackling by the freshmen, and a provoking waste of time by Adams. Time was called with the ball well inside the Quincy men's territory...
