Amherst won the toss and took the west goal with a strong wind in her favor. Harvard's heavy rush line was too much for the lighter Amherst team and in a short time Nichols made a touchdown from which Saxe kicked a goal. The ball was then brought into the middle of the field and in about eight minutes Wood made the second touchdown, resulting in a goal. Two more touchdowns were made in quick succession by Nichols and Wood, from which goals were kicked by Saxe. A very poor pass by Nichols over Porter's head gave the ball to Amherst within two feet of Harvard's goal line. It looked for awhile as though Amherst would score, but on the fourth down the ball went to Harvard. Good rushes by Butler brought the ball well up in the centre of the field. Again Harvard lost ground by a bad pass to Nichols. Good work by the rush line enabled Sears to make a touchdown. Goal. Stearns, Amherst's half-back, rushed finely but was well tackled by Nichols. Amherst lost the ball which was passed to Wood who made a run of half the length of the field and placed the ball directly between Amherst's goal posts.

Saxe kicked a goal. Morrison collided with Sears and had to leave the field. Finally took his place and played a steady game throughout. Nichols was slightly injured and Harding went to quarter back, Holden taking end rush. The splendid blocking off of Sears enabled Wood to make another touchdown. Goal. The ball was soon lost by Amherst, and Porter after a brilliant rush, scored the seventh touchdown. The try for goal was a failure but Boyden seized the ball and made another touchdown, from which a goal was kicked. Harding, after a beautiful run, scored the ninth touchdown, resulting in a goal. Time was called for the first half. Score: Harvard, 52 Amherst, 0.

Amherst started in the second half with a good run by Stearns, who played brilliantly throughout the game. Wood retired, owing to a slight injury, and Horne took his place. The Harvard rush line seemed to go to pieces, and the ball kept steadily nearing Harvard's goal line until Holden made a fine run well toward the centre of the field. Harding made a touchdown. Goal. Butler made the eleventh touchdown, goal. The Amherst half-backs now did some fine running and dodging, but soon Holden made a touchdown. Goal. Another touchdown followed by Saxe. No goal. In spite of the hard work of the Amherst players, Holden, Saxe Bradlee and Porter made touchdowns, from which goals were kicked. Time was then called, the score standing 98 to 0 in Harvard's favor.
