...heavier and faster team, and it was only due to poor generalship that the score was not larger. The play was always in the Cadets' territory and the Battery goal-line was never in danger. The Battery scored its touchdown on a forward pass. Wadsworth sent the ball to Dana, who, aided by good interference, ran 17 yards to the goal-line. Dana kicked the goal, although the angle was an extremely difficult...
Harvard immediately punted at the opening of the second period and on the next play the kick was returned to Wigglesworth on his 45-yard line. On a fast end run Corbett made 20 yards before he fumbled. Yale recovered the ball on her own 45-yard line. Field made 11 yards on the next play, but the ball was called back as a 15-yard penalty for holding was imposed. Daly, on the next play, however, made first down by a pretty 20-yard run. Yale then fumbled and it was Harvard's ball on her 46-yard line...
...Wendell ran back the kick-off 22 yards to the 33-yard line and after the next play, Harvard punted to Howe, who was downed on his 23-yard line by Smith after running back 7 yards. On good line plunging by Daly, Kistler and Field, Yale carried the ball just across the middle of the field, where Daly fumbled. Harvard punted at once and during the rest of the period Yale never had the ball in Harvard's territory. After Field had made first down on his 35-yard line, Howe punted across midfield to Wendell...

One the next play Howe kicked out of bounds on the 30-yard line, thus preventing Harvard from making a fair catch. From here Wendell's excellent line plunging carried the ball to Yale's 16-yard line. On the next play, on the 14-yard line, Corbett fumbled, Daly recovering the ball for Yale. Howe immediately kicked and for the rest of the game Yale forced...
Without doubt the University team had an "off day," but nevertheless rushed the ball twice as far as its opponents. Such work is far more to be considered than individual misplays in looking to the future. The men showed well-grounded knowledge of the game and undeniable physical power both in breaking up the much heralded tackle-shift attack, and also in offensive play. From the point of view of next year's team, these are the really significant elements of Saturday's game, for although deplorable and unfortunate to the last degree, fumbling and holding can be corrected, while...
