Lynn gained 12 yards for Yale, but Harvard was given 15 yards for Yale's offside. Long, by two end runs carried the ball over for a touchdown. Biglow missed the goal. After the second kick-off Harvard advanced the ball to the middle of the field, where Yale held for downs. Yale was forced to kick, but regained the ball on a fumble on Harvard's 7-yard line. Lynn went over for a touchdown. Dines punted out to Burger who failed to kick the goal.
In the second half Yale kicked off to Harvard and the Freshmen made good gains through Yale's line, but lost the ball on downs. Lynn circled the end for a 30-yard gain.
