...that the line was weak, for although Crowley and Cutting both played brilliantly at times, they were not down on punts and did not tackle hard. Cutler punted well, but was not so good in receiving the ball. Corbett ran well with little interference, though his work in the back-field was below the average, and Leslie and Ver Wiebe both played well; Ver Wiebe made especially good interference, and frequently pulled White along for further gains...
Pearson was very erratic and did not play as consistently as Niles. His serve was generally good, however, and his alertness made Niles's trick serve ineffective.

When the parade is over the Harvard divisions will proceed up Massachusetts avenue...
...being blocked. Burr's kicking was from placement, and Kennard tried drop kicks. During the scrimmage the University team was weak on the offense, and twice Cutler's forward passes were blocked. The second time Burrage got the ball and was running down the field when he was called back. Ver Wiebe showed up well at fullback...
