Chapel services were conducted last night by the Rt. Rev. W. N. McVickar, D. D., of Providence, who spoke from the text: "But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee." (Acts: 26; 16.) He said in part...
After the kick-off a forward pass by Harvard gave Carlisle the ball on Harvard's twenty yard line. Carlisle then adopted the turtle back formation and by line plays worked up to the eight yard line. Harvard then made a plucky stand and took the ball on downs, Stillman punting out of danger. A few moments later Daly tried a goal from the forty yard line and Burnett tried one from the middle of the field, but both failed. The half soon ended with the ball on Harvard's forty-five yard line. Score...
Both teams played a better offensive than defensive game. Harvard's defense was a little the better, while in offense Brown had a slight advantage.

The ends got down the field well and several times recovered the ball on fumbles. Pruyn's punting was good, but on exchanges of kicks he lost through Marshall's poor work in running back the ball...
Without further comment we give the principal omissions.

That act speaks louder than orations...
...without losing it once carried it slowly down the field for a touchdown. Most of the ground was gained by Putnam, who was sent through right tackle on every other play. The next touchdown was made in the same way, West Point in both cases making a plucky stand on the two yard line. The last touchdown was the result of Daly's brilliant run of seventy yards after catching a punt. During the rest of the game the play was even and the half ended with the ball in the middle of the field...
