After Burnett had kicked off, Richardson made twenty yards around Hallowell. Frequent punting made the ball change hands often, Harvard occasionally trying Brown's ends, with little success. Brown finally attempted rushing, but lost the ball for offside play. Failing to gain around Cuddy, Sawin punted on the third down, the ball going outside on Brown's twenty-yard line. Bates returned a low, bounding ball, which Sawin cleverly handled. Daly then changed his tactics, and, after ten plays, alternating centre plunges and mass plays on tackle, Kendall was sent across for a touchdown. Sawin kicked an easy goal...
...Hapgood made two short gains, Brown was unable to get the necessary five yards, and on Sawin's punt, Campbell downed Pratt on Brown's fifteen-yard line. Richardson gained forty-five yards around Hallowell before he was downed by Ellis. After more punting, Harvard obtained possession of the ball, and, by vigorous plunges at centre advanced it until Ellis finally carried it across the line. The touchdown was not allowed, however, because of holding in the line, and the ball was brought back and given to Brown. A successful trick on Campbell ran the ball back to the centre...
...great value to Harvard elevens. It will require strong team play to break up Harvard's defense, and the offensive work should be effective as a result of the great attention paid to it during the past week. With Sawin and Burnett in the game, the possession of the ball in Brown's territory may mean a goal from the field...
...minute half played against the second eleven, the Varsity, with good interference on the kick-off, twice worked the ball down the field to the twenty-five yard line. The first time Daly made a fair catch after an exchange of punts and was given ten yards for interference with the catch. Sawin easily kicked the goal. The second time he scored a goal on a drop-kick from the twenty-five yard line...
Burnett did well at centre and was very quick in following the ball. On the defensive, except for not meeting the play squarely, he was very effective in stopping plays. His worst fault is in standing too high. In the practice before the game, his place-kicks were remarkable for distance and accuracy, but in the game he missed the only try he had for goal...
