...game throughout was an exhibition of hockey as it should not be played. In the first half particularly, the University forwards would not keep together and the defence made errors of judgment that might have turned out fatally. The outstanding feature of the evening, however, was the all-around playing of Captain Morgan and Percy for the University and of Captain Schoen for Princeton. The former were aggressive when the rest of the Crimson team was sluggish and ragged, and the latter was responsible for all three of the Tigers' goals...
Harvard's strength lies mainly in team work and an unusual defensive game. Captain Morgan's defensive ability together with his speed and clever stick-work on the offence make him the most valuable all-around player on the team, if anyone can be said to hold that position. T. C. Thacher '18, regular coverpoint, has been laid up lately with an injured foot and H. K. White '19 has filled his position ably. White's long reach makes him a hard player to pass, and he plays a heady game although not as fast on the offence as Thacher...

...York Times praised him as follows: "Individually, Fritz Pollard, a lithe, dusky, six-foot half back, displayed the cleverest all-around backfield success attained on Yale Field this season. In end running, forward passing, in executing a bewildering criss-cross and delayed pass run, which was Brown's trump card, in running back punts, in side stepping and dodging Yale tackles in a broken field, Pollard gave a peerless performance. His head line exhibition brought the crowd of 25,000 spectators up with a roar in the opening minutes of the final period. Catching a punt hoisted aloft to midfield...
Mattison was the best all-around performer for Brown, making an exceptionally fine showing in the first exercise of the horizontal bar, in which he executed a remarkably smooth double-reverse on the giant swing...
