...first half, Harvard's play was very slow, a fault which was increased by a marked tendency of the backs to start before the ball was put in play. This weakness, which may have been partly due to the absence of the regular quarter, delayed the play and probably reduced the final score.

Boston was particularly effective on end plays, gaining ground at will but lost on account of costly fumbles. The line-up of the Law School team...
