...work of the reorganized backfield although still crude, was better than any done by a Crimson ballcarrying quartet this year. Wood established himself as an able and alert quarterback. He played a heady and cool game throughout and although not carrying the ball once he was responsible for the last touchdown when he threw another last-minute aerial to Harding, duplicating his feat of the Army game. Harper was back to his old form again when, in the opening quarter, he made two successive first downs single handed...
Wood will direct the eleven in this, the first of two intersectional games on the University schedule. With him in the backfield will be a reorganized trio of ball carriers, Putnam and Devens halfbacks, and Harper, fullback. This new quartet should give Harvard a sustained attack for the crucial test. Wood is a capable field general, a fine kicker and passer, and a good interferer.

Harper's defensive work back...
Harvard's two goals came as the result of a kick in the first period by D. M. Frame '32, assisted by Dirk Bodde '30, and a long, hard kick by H. H. Broadbent '32, in the fourth stanza.

This count was doubled in the second stanza when Frame, taking a pass from H. H. Broadbent '32, was able to break through the defense of the Northeastern goalie for the second time...
