Dyer failed to gain, but Butterworth made a good ten yards, tackled by Jackson. The ball was on Harvard's 15 yard line, but the Cambridge freshmen tackled well and got it in four downs. Jackson got four yards between Hinkey and Messler and McNear finished out the requisite distance. Jackson and Whitman could not gain, so Whitman punted to Dyer.
Emmons's tackles again proved too sure for Yale and Richards punted again to Harvard's 35 yard line. Jachson made four yards, and successive rushes by McNear and Whitman took the ball beyond the centre of the field. Holding in Harvard's line gave the play to Yale. Graham's fumble returned it. Harvard could not gain by rushing ane Whitman kicked to Dyer. Messler's fumble gave the ball to Harvard on Yale's 30 yard line.

The Yale men interfered well and took the ball directly to Harvard's 20 yard line. Dyer made another of his pretty runs for the distance and scored. Goal.
Harvard's attempts at rushing proved futile and Whitman again punted to Richards. Without once losing the ball Yale rushed the play to Harvard's 2 yard line. Here again Harvard proved strong and got the ball on four downs only one foot from the goal line. Whitman tried to kick after being grappled. The ball fell on the ground and Graham again dropped on it for a touch down. Goal.
Harvard did some good ground gaining but was finally forced to punt. McNear was hurt and Wardner took his place; and Whitney substituted Butterworth who got a bad blow on the head. Yale rushed the ball to Harvard's 5 yard line and there lost it on a fumble. Whitman tried to kick but the Yale rushers were on him before he had a chance and forced him to make a safety touch down. During the remainder of the half Harvard played a plucky game and prevented Yale from doing any more scoring.
