...second half the desperate resistance of the Harvard players almost prevented Yale from scoring, although the ball was constantly in Harvard's territory. A costly fumble on the 15-yard line, however, gave Yale the ball close to Harvard's goal line and a touchdown resulted...
...Although the game resulted in a tie, Dartmouth played the better game and gained much more ground than Harvard, especially in the first half. The University team was considerably weakened by the absence of three or four men who will play against Yale, and this partly explains the superiority of the Dartmouth team. Harvard was fortunate in coming out of the game without serious injuries. There were weak places near the centre of the Dartmouth line, but the tackleback play was practically the only one which could get through them. The secondary defense of Harvard was very poor, although...
Misplays lost the Dartmouth eleven the advantage it had gained by out-rushing Harvard. Twice the ball was lost on fumbles, while Harvard's only offense in this respect resulted in a gain of 18 yards. Penalties, although comparatively few, were costly to Dartmouth, who twice was set back 15 yards for holding. Harvard was penalized once for the same offense, and in all three cases a punt was necessary. Besides this each team held twice, forcing a punt, and Harvard was once stopped on downs. Near the end of the game the Dartmouth attack was weakened slightly, and with...
...plays did not run off as fast as with Starr in the game, but Newhall, on the whole, used good generalship and his work in catching punts was excellent, in view of the speed and reckless tackling of the Dartmouth ends.

Harrison was by far the best defensive back, and time and again was effective by stopping plays which had broken through weak places...
...attack of the University eleven yesterday was again fairly strong, and the second team was unable to make any consistent gains. Although the play on the whole was neither brilliant nor especially fast, extremely well-developed team-play was shown at times by the first team. Newhall was back in the game at quarterback, and all of the regular players except Burr, Nichols and Harrison were on the field. Foster and Starr were again given light work and did not play in the scrimmage...
