Exeter started play with a poor kickoff to Harvard's 45-yard line. Here the 1916 team at once showed its strength by advancing the ball in fifteen, straight plays to the 10-yard line. Exeter, however, braced and the ball was lost on downs. Exeter then made the longest run of the game, 40 yards, but lost the ball on a fumble in the next play. Harvard again started on a steady advance on the Exeter goal but two long penalties for holding and the throwing of Mahan for a loss of five yards ended the period without further...
Shortly after the start of the next quarter Mahan made an attempt at a field goal from the 20-yard line, following a series of successful line plunges. With the ball in Exeter's possession, a fumble was made but recovered by Perkins for Harvard. Mahan then kicked a goal from the 18-yard line. In the remaining minutes of play the Freshmen brought the ball to Exeter's 10-yard line, but time was called before a score could be made. Score: Harvard 1916, 3; Exeter...
During most of the second half Exeter adopted defensive tactics, punting as soon as they had the ball. Exeter started the period by kicking off, but in two long gains and an exchange of punts in which Mahan had slightly the better of his opponent, Harvard brought the ball down to the 3-yard line, where a forward pass from Mahan to Rollins within the 10-yard zone, resulted in the only touchdown of the game. Mahan then kicked the goal. In the last period Harvard gained consistently up to the 15-yard line, where three opportunities for a touchdown...
...second period of the game, ten more points were added to the University's score. Brickley tried for 4 goal but missed, giving Brown the ball on her 20-yard line. Brown made first down, but was penalized and tried to punt. Trumbull came through the line on a terrific charge, blocked the kick, and sent the ball flying over the Brown goal where Coolidge fell on it for the second touchdown. Hardwick kicked the goal. A little later Felton stood in mid-field ready to punt. The game seemed to stop, waiting for the kick. Suddenly he passed...
...Temple scored the goal from a difficult angle. Due to the extremely poor condition of the field the game was very ragged, both teams fumbling continually. Only once did Brown threaten the Harvard goal-line. After a series of line plunges and a successful forward pass, Brown had the ball on the Harvard 8-yard line where they were held for downs. The most striking feature of the game was the speed of the Brown backfield. For Harvard Atkinson, Parker and Spang played a good game, the latter making some long end runs. Casey starred for Brown, often smashing through...
