...fumble in the first minutes' play, the Harvard team exceeded general expectations and rolled up a good score against opponents of great reputation for strength. On the offensive Harvard was much stronger than the Indians, and was rarely held for downs. The defense, as was expected, kept the ball so far from the goal line that Hudson could not kick a goal from the field until the presence of substitutes weakened the Harvard line which finally gave way before the furious attacks of the Indians. Hudson then rushed the ball down into Harvard's territory and made a graceful drop...
...wind, punting was ofter resorted to by both sides and Hallowell easily out-punted Miller, who was forced to do the kicking for the Indians. Much ground was also gained by Daly, who rushed back Miller's punts usually for gains of about 15 yards. Excepting once, when the ball was lost on four downs and twice when he should have allowed kicks to cross the line, Daly's generalship was excellent. His clean tackle of Metoxen in the first half saved the eleven from one more touchdown against them, aside from its merit as a hard tackle...
...placed not only upon the end interference, but also upon the plays through the line, especially with Kendall and Ellis playing. With his long punts, Hallowell should equal Hudson in kicking. Skilful as the latter is in kicking goals from the field, his eleven must first rush the ball at least to Harvard's 30-yard line before he can have the opportunity. Harvard can prevent this by means of the recently developed defense. As Boal and Hollingsworth are injured, and as Merriman has not come up to expectations at left guard, A. R. Sargent will play the position...
Yesterday's practice was loose at times, but otherwise fast and aggressive. Although the 'Varsity was held for downs by the second eleven but once in the course of the line up, three times the ball was lost for holding. The new defence was very effective, not only preventing the second from gaining, but also easily breaking up the guards-back formation. In the preliminary practice, the first eleven devoted some time to the study of new formations and trick-plays, while Sawin tried for goals from the field...
...minutes, the first eleven scored two touchdowns. By two thirty-yard runs, Gierasch scored two touchdowns in the first half. In the second, Kendall made the touchdowns. Except for a couple of criss-crosses, the first eleven played straight football throughout. Reid again punted well, and by kicking the ball higher, gave the ends more time to get down the field...
