...from the centre of the field where Andover secured the ball on a punt. The next touchdown was made in the first six minutes of the second half, principally by tackle and end plays. Captain Davis of the Andover team outplayed his opponent and made good holes for the runner whenever he was called upon. Toward the end of the game Exeter held for downs on her four yard line, but after the ball had been kicked out of danger, Andover scored another touchdown by successive plunges through the tackles. The game was called on account of darkness...
Clark, right end, is light and plays hard football, but he fails to force his way through closely-knit interference and often allows the runner to go outside of him. His interference is generally good although he often runs high and slowly...
...scored on a pretty dropkick from the 20-yard line. For Harvard, Stillman played an excellent game, punting well, and running low and hard. He kicked six out of seven goals. Hersey was a good ground gainer, and Graydon did well at guard, often breaking through and tackling the runner for a loss. Clarke played a low and hard game...

Although the backs never supported the runner any too well, individually they often showed very good judgment in working their way through the line or in dodging around the ends. Lowrie, Livermore and Cook all made repeated gains. Considering that the day was poor and that the contest was class...

Donald and Lawrence were steady on the defense, and, except for Metoxen's 40-yard run through Lawrence, they rarely failed to tackle the runner in plays directed at them. Campbell and Hallowell played fast football, and the latter was invaluable for his punting. Fumbling was the striking weakness in Harvard's game. Gierasch worked hard, but did not prove as brilliant a runner as was expected and his fumble was as costly as it was inexcusable. Ellis was the only back upon whom reliance could be placed at all times...
