The half ended with the Harvard team fresh and in good spirits. Harvard's ball on the 40 yard line.
The feature of the first half was Haugton's punting, which almost equalled McBride's, the latter having the strong west wind in his favor.
Between the halves the Harvard band played inspiring music. Both sides of the field were comparatively quiet, but the general comment seemed to be that Harvard would score in the second half. The wind freshed up considerably, and, as before, blew straight down the field.
