...halves of twenty five minutes each, and the men were kept hard at work by the coaches. The playing of the first eleven was very poor. The second scored once on a brilliant end run of sixty yards by Putnam, and held the first eleven down to one touchdown. The first eleven kept the ball out of its own territory fairly well and a few times came near the goal line, but it was twice held for downs on the ten yard line and again lost a good chance to score by a fumble. Much of this weakness...
...first eleven scored its first touchdown three minutes after the game began; short gains through the line by Kernan, Ellis and Kendall and a run of twenty five yards by Kendall took the ball to the six yard line and Ellis carried it over the line on a plunge through right guard.

Offside play and fumbling prevented the first eleven from scoring further...
...plunges brought the ball to the five yard line where it was lost on a fumble. Burgess of the first eleven during these plays showed up particularly well in his tackling. From the five yard line the first eleven, chiefly by the plays of Pruyn and Parker, scored a touchdown. The teams are at present lined up as follows...
