Hallowell and Campbell will both be back next year. They are the best pair of ends Harvard has ever had. Both of the substitutes, Hawkins and Ristine, will also return. Daly and Fincke, quarterbacks, have one more year in College. Who will play the other back positions seems likely to cause doubt as this fall. Kendall and Gierasch have two more years in College and Sawin one. For fullback there will be a hard contest between Reid and Ellis, both of whom graduate in 1901. A possible third man is Stillman, the Freshman, whose punting is of a high order...
...possibilities of Graydon and Stillman must be considered. Captain Baldwin will make a good quarterback, with a chance for the first eleven when Daly leaves.

Kernan, substitute back, has great abilities as a punter, which could well be developed...

For the first few miles the pace was slow, but the break was made at the corner of Huron avenue and Brattle street, about a mile and a quarter from home. O. W. Richardson 1L. finished first, with W. G. Clerk '01, second...
During the rest of the half, Harvard tried the tandem formation with five men back of the line, which last year's Freshman team used, but it was no more successful than the ordinary plays. The half ended with the ball in Harvard's possession in the middle of the field...
Wretched work in the back field by Stillman and Baldwin gave Yale a chance to score, which they could not take advantage of, however, on account of Harvard's strong defense. Finally Blount fumbled one of Stillman's kicks and Hersey fell on the ball. A few tackle plays pushed the ball over the line, Hersey making the score...
