...first team was given the ball in mid-field against the second eleven and proceeded to use straight football. At first the attack was not effective and Potter was forced to take to the forward pass. This style of play, one pass to Smith and another to Felton, for a total of 40 yards, placed the ball on the second's 15-yard line. Here Potter dropped back for a try at a drop-kick but the second team broke through and blocked the ball. With the exception of a short signal session at the end of the next period...
...attack is shifty and of the usual Robinson variety. As has happened at Brown so often, there are a lot of chance-taking plays, and when these go, something interesting happens.

There is no doubt that it has the speediest backfield combination in the East and a pair of first class ends; but it has absolutely no good line plunger, and with the line unable to protect their attack, the backfield cannot be effective...
...Cambridge. Whether those efforts shall be furthered or thwarted by this trip depends on the conduct of individual men on the clubs and the impression they give. Disorder will counteract the testimony of graduates and the work of the Faculty; good behavior will go further to disprove sensational attack on Harvard morals than scores of verbal replies...
