...first team was given the ball in mid-field against the second eleven and proceeded to use straight football. At first the attack was not effective and Potter was forced to take to the forward pass. This style of play, one pass to Smith and another to Felton, for a total of 40 yards, placed the ball on the second's 15-yard line. Here Potter dropped back for a try at a drop-kick but the second team broke through and blocked the ball. With the exception of a short signal session at the end of the next period...
...remaining distance across their opponents' goal-line. Pierce contributed most of the ground gaining by a remarkable exhibition of dodging through a broken field for 45 yards.

Following this score, the second team punted from behind the line to Callander...

The only open work was a forward pass from Freedley to Hollister which netted 15 yards. Otherwise the backs made most of their gains on the skin-tackle play, the line opening up the holes for this formation in excellent fashion. The second score was made by Reynolds on plunges through left tackle and left guard. A play which would have resulted in another score occurred when Gardiner intercepted a forward pass on the second team's 40-yard line...
...punts by Wigglesworth and O'Brien left the ball in Harvard's possession on Holy Cross's 25-yard line. A 5-yard penalty for offside and an uncompleted forward pass made it third down on the 30-yard line. Wigglesworth, standing 40 yards from the goal sent a straight drop-kick which looked sure to score. The ball, however, hit the cross-bar and bounded back. The University team was penalized several times for offside play in this period. Late in the period Wigglesworth made the longest run of the game, taking back a punt 45 yards far into...
