Captain Stevenson won the coin toss and chose to kick first.
 Richards punted the ball to the BAA 20-yard line, on a low and bouncy kick.
 Smith recovered the football and was tackled before gaining any ground.

Brown caught the kick and gained no yards.
 On then the next play Thomas was instructed by Stevenson to run the ball between the Right Guard and Tackle, and gained 5 yards.
 The same play was tried again with Richards, but he was stuffed at the line of scrimmage.
 Van Doozer went between a Tackle and End, and made a short gain.
 On 4th down Richards was called a again, but was tackled behind the line by Bert Waters on a slow pitch play, and the ball was turned over to BAA.
 After these possessions, the teams decided there plans of action.
 Boston AA would routinely attack the left side of the CAA line, while Chicago AA would try to run through the center and right half of Boston AA.
 These accounted for the majority of gains throughout the rest of the game.

Boston AA tried to run Gonterman around CAA's right end, but he was quickly sacked for a 5-yard loss, and the BAA captain decided that end runs would be near-impossible with the poor field condition.
 Unable to make the necessary gains for a first down after Gonterman's loss, BAA decided to punt, but the throw from the center to BAA quarterback Curtis was poor, and the kick was blocked, with W. H. Thompson coming down with the ball for Chicago AA.

Since the two teams determined going through the center was the only reasonable way of gaining yards, Ben Thomas was sent through the Right Guard, but was tackled for loss.
 On the next play Brown managed to break through the center for 2 yards, and Thompson did the same for a short gain, largely thanks to the blocking of Stevenson, McCormick, and Heffelfinger.
 Richards, a recent addition to the Chicago AA lineup, made his first yards for the CAA, running through BAA Right Guard LeMoyne for another short gain.
 New Right Half-back Van Doozer would have his first on the next play, going a few yards in an opening made by ben Thomas between LeMoyne and Russell, but was stopped by the BAA backfield.
 The BAA center was holding well so Richards tried running through the Right End for no gain.
 Thomas tried breaking through the Center one more time but slipped in the snow and was unable to block Bert Waters.
 CAA ran out of downs and turned the ball over to BAA.

Anthony, Boston AA's Left Half-back, led the next two downs with a solid 8-yard run through CAA's Left Tackle (Thompson), and again for a small gain.
 Full-back Curtis found rare hole in the Center and ran for another gain of 8, being brought down by Thomas.
 Waters pounded through the line for 5 yards, hitting at Chicago AA's weaker left side.
 Gonterman would try an end run on the next play, but again it was stopped for no gain.
 Anthony was given the ball and made 5 yards for the first down through Thompson.
 He sent through again but gained practically nothing after Thomas tackled him.
 The same tactics were employed over and over again, with short gains of 2 to 5 yards.
 Finally Boston AA was taken back when Hudelson tackled Anthony for a 2-yard loss.
 On the very next play, Curtis broke through the line between Guard and Tackle, and ran 20 yards to the CAA 5-yard line.
 Anthony was put to work again and cut the yards-from-goal to 3.
 The Chicago line reportedly tightened and the Boston players were forced back on the next play.
 This play would also lead to a minor scuffle, as a Chicago AA player managed to get the ball during the assault, and Bert Waters tackled him and tried to take the ball from him on the ground.
 Thompson saw the scheme and jerked Waters away, and then Curtis interfered and a minor fight broke out.
 The referees eventually ruled to give Boston AA the ball on the reasoning that it had been downed by a Boston AA player and taken from him by the CAA player.
