Throughout the remainder of the period both teams used the forward pass almost entirely. Neither team, however, succeeding in making consistent gains.
The second period opened with the ball in the Battery's possession, but they were soon forced to kick. Kean recovering. Three more attempts to gain through the line failed, and Minot punted again to the Cadet's 15-yard line, Hadley running the ball back to midfield. The battery braced, and Snow was soon forced to kick. But the Battery was unable to keep the ball, losing it on a fumble in the first formation.
