...same player. The All-Stars had two other opportunities to score, but were unable to take advantage of either. In the second period Philbin tried another field-goal which was unsuccessful, and in the last period the Indians braced on their 10-yard line and received the ball on downs. The All-Stars proved strong individually and profited by their superior weight in the line. Although the backfield started the plays accurately, the line, hampered by the new rules, was unable to protect the runner sufficiently after he had passed Carlisle's primary defence. As a result, few long gains...
...Indians kicked off to Fish on the 28-yard line. Two exchanges of punts followed, the last punt being recovered by Fish on the Indian's 35-yard line. In the next two plays, Philbin and Pfeiffer advanced the ball 15 yards, and then after two unsuccessful rushes, Philbin dropped back and kicked a field-goal from the 30-yard line. During the remainder of the period Wauseka and Philbin engaged in a punting duel, in which the latter had a slight advantage, due principally to the effective work of the ends. In the second period, Philbin and Pfeiffer rushed...
...Seniors received the kick-off on their own 25-yard line, and by straight rushing carried the ball to the middle of the field, only to lose in on a fumble. Before the period closed, however, the Juniors were able to make one or two substantial gains. They lost the ball on a fumble at the beginning of the second period, and an indecisive punting duel followed, in which the Seniors had a slight advantage...
...second half the defence of both sides stiffened materially, and except for a few gains made by the Juniors on forward passes, neither side was able to advance the ball. The Seniors scored the only touchdown in the final period. With the ball in the middle of the field, the Juniors partially blocked a kick, and Murdoch, recovering the ball on the 30-yard line, ran the remaining distance for a touchdown. Lewis kicked the goal. When play was resumed, the Juniors received the kick-off, but being unable to gain consistently, were forced to kick. The Seniors fumbled...
...second period developed into a punting duel between Bliss and McClintock, in which the latter was superior. Late in the period Harvard rushed the ball to Yale's 20-yard line, where Milholland kicked a goal from the field. Yale's touchdown came in the third period as a result of several well-executed forward passes. Foss kicked the goal and tied the score. Before the end of the period Gardiner made two attempts at goals from the field, the second of which was successful. The final score was made in the last period on a safety, when Storer blocked...
