...good rushing by Biddle and Appleton caused another safety by our opponents. Afterwards Hartley was disabled by an injury to the knee and was forced to retire, Gilman taking his place. Biddle immediately rushed with the ball well up the field, and Wesselhoeft soon after gained the first touchdown for Harvard after a pretty run. The ball was punted out by Biddle but the try for goal was a failure. Just before the end of the first three quarters Adams secured the ball and made a second touchdown for Harvard but no goal was kicked. Time was called with...
Game was called at 3.30, Adams having the kick-off, from which they forced the 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...

...gave us the game it is true, but there is not a shadow of a doubt that in point of skill, in passing and kicking, we were fairly out-played.

The redeeming feature of the next few minutes was the fine tackling of Adams which gained him the chief commendation to be bestowed on the team. Unfortunately for Harvard...
...season Saturday afternoon, and made a very good showing. They had the Roxbury Latin School eleven for opponents, and easily defeated them by a score of 22 points to 2. '87 had the kick off, and by a fumble of their opponent's full back, they scored a touchdown through Cochrane. Willard scored a goal a few minutes after from a touchdown by Keyes made after some brilliant passing and good running. The Latin School were forced to a safety touchdown by the good play of '87, but the freshmen failed to score anything further in the first three quarters...
