...First half-hour--Harvard wins the toss and selects the wind. Arnold kicks off for Yale, sending a long kick down the field. Leeds springs a trick not known at Yale: he kicks the ball back again, Yale again kicks, and Leeds, catching, runs in for a touchdown. He kicks the goal. The ball is kicked off and Harvard soon has it in touch near Yale's goal. It is thrown in to Seamans, who kicks a goal from the field...
...Second half-hour--Yale kicks off. Harvard runs back, but Yale now shows greater familiarity with the game and tackles strongly. The runner is stopped and the whole Yale team piles on him. When they are taken off the ball is found a flattened sheet of rubber at the bottom. It is blown up again and the game proceeds. Blanchard gets the ball and runs in for a touchdown. The goal is missed...

...careless play of the earlier games was almost completely corrected, but in the last half the Freshmen were unable to stop the long Exeter passes, a fault which was still prominent in the game with Princeton two weeks later. Churchill and Owen again did excellent work in the back-field, each of them making a touchdown in the first quarter...
...score-board dates back to 1900, when Arthur Irwin, former scout of the New York American Baseball Club, and now with Rochester, wishing to lessen the difficulty which the spectators had in following the play with a fair idea of who was making the plays, conceived the plan. At that time forward passes were unheard of and mass plays with flying wedges were relied on for results. This form of play made the game a confused one to follow. And it was almost impossible for the stands to tell who was doing the work. Furthermore, regular linesmen were not then...
