...played a very fast game at the start and after an exchange of punts succeeded in reaching their opponents' 25-yard line, where the ball was lost on downs, regained on a blocked kick, and lost again as before. The first eleven then got together and carried the ball straight down the field 85 yards for a touchdown by Knowlton. C. Marshall kicked the goal. Mills made his long run on the next kick-off, and after Kernan's punt the ball was recovered on downs within 15 yards of the goal, and on the second rush Mills crossed...
...sensational features of the game appeared at the very start when Putnam ran in Dartmouth's kickoff straight through the midst of both teams and was not brought down until he had passed the center of the field and completed a 53 yards gain to Dartmouth's 42-yard line. There was fumble on the next play, but the ball was recovered by Daly, and Mills then broke through left tackle for a 34 yards run to within 8 yards of the goal. Two short gains brought the ball to the 2-yard line and a touchdown seemed imminent...
...beginning of the second half was just as exciting as the first. On Putnam's kickoff, Dillon received the ball and ran straight through the entire Harvard team until he was thrown by Daly at Harvard's 45-yard line.

Two short gains and a 5 yards penalty for offside brought the ball within 33 yards of the goal. From there Harper walked through Shea for 22 yards to the 11 yard...

The first team finally obtained the ball on downs, but was forced to punt. A few minutes later the ball was again secured on downs and from the 40 yard line Marshall attempted a goal from the field, but failed. Obtaining the ball, after an exchange of punts...
...fumbles thwarted any attempts at effectual offensive work on their part, defeat would have been hard to avert. As it was, in a line-up which lasted twenty minutes, the first team was twice held for downs, lost the ball on a fumble, and could score only once on straight plays. Another touchdown was made, but it was due to one of the second team's fumbles on which a member of the first team secured the ball and easily carried it to the goal...
