...eleven. The northerners bore little resemblance to the scrappy team which faced Harvard last year, holding her to two touchdowns. The opponents were amateurish, imperfect in signals, and weak in the line. They could not gain consistently by either massed or open plays, and only three times held the ball on the Crimson side of the 50-yard line, never penetrating nearer than 25 yards. In the second quarter, time was called when Bates had just gotten into position for an attempt at a field goal. Near the end of the last period an attempt was actually made after...
Brickley kicked off again, this time over the goal. The ball was put in scrimmage on the 20-yard line, an off-side penalty on Harvard advancing it five. Three more plays failing to gain the required distance, Bates punted to Logan, who made a fair catch on his own 42-yard line. The ball was given to Mahan, but his interference was late and he was tackled for a loss of five yards. He punted to Bates' 25-yard line, the runback netting five. The first play lost a yard. The next caught Hardwick off his guard, Keeney making...
...goal. Three rushes, two by Brickley and one by Mahan found paper spots in the opponents' line and resulted in another touchdown and goal. This time Bates kicked to Harvard's 17-yard line, Mahan making 13 yards before he was stopped. The quarter ended with it Harvard's ball on her own 30-yard line, and the score...
After Mahan had fumbled and recovered with a five yard gain, a punt placed the ball on Bates' 25-yard line. The Harvard line held, and Bates kicked out on her own 44-yard line. Mahan got away for 20 yards around end, but was called back because Trumbull was holding. An exchange of punts made it Harvard's ball on her own 42-yard line. Hardwick was summoned, and pulled off a beautiful 55-yard dash on an end around. Three more line attacks, and Brickley was again across Bates' goal. Hardwick this time missed the goal...
...kickoff was received by Harvard, and another opportunity offered to score when Bates muffed Mahan's punt on her 25-yard line. Two forward passes, however, were incomplete, and the ball finally lost on a touchback. Another exchange of punts and a 15-yard penalty when Bradlee was caught holding, made it Bates' ball in Crimson territory for the first time. Two forward passes on a "line" formation with three men wide at the right were incomplete, and after two more punts and a few profitable line plunges by Bates, the half was over with the ball on Harvard...
