...Coffin kicking the goal from touchdown and a goal from placement. Pennsylvania was unable to gain consistently, and so failed to score, thus making the score at the close of the half: Cornell, 11; Pennsylvania, 0. The tables were turned in the second half, however, when Pennsylvania by aggressive attack scored twelve points on touchdowns by Bennett and Torrey, after both of which Gardiner kicked goals...
...backfield, would have had the same result. With the exception of these plays and a few punts of extraordinary length, there was little of the spectacular. For the most part, the game was a long series of rushes with scarcely any variation from the accepted style of attack--the tackle-back formation -- which has come into use in all the important games of recent years. A few end runs were tried by both sides, but always with unsatisfactory effect. Yale had wonderful offensive strength and after once receiving the ball usually managed to make successive gains for some distance...
...their concentrated energies that they achieved that consistency in their gains that made the difference between victory and defeat. Harvard's defense was practically a one-man defense; not because the men were in-different to helping in other positions than their own, but because the Yale attack was so cleverly disguised that most of the Harvard players were drawn to the wrong side and only one man was left to stop a play that combined nearly every member of the opposing team...
...filled one of the strongest places in Yale's line. Scarcely a gain was made through this position on the Harvard team, and once at a critical time, Marshall broke through and tackled one of Yale's trick plays for a loss. Barnard bore the brunt of Yale's attack during the larger part of the game and though it was a severe task, did it commendably. Knowlton and Shea proved themselves to be effective tackles, both defensively and in carrying the ball. Putnam made a number of Harvard's gains outside of tackle and by keeping close...
...ball is often returned some distance before he arrives. Barnard is a heady player but does not show as much fight as his position requires. Graydon can be relied upon for substantial gains, but when the other side has the ball he makes too little effort to stop the attack. Marshall has developed steadily, and with his experience of last year is proving very necessary in directing plays and in running back punts. He is also cool and skillful in drop-kicking goals though sometimes slow in getting the ball away. Kernan, so far this season, has played a conservative...
