...made anywhere from five to twenty yards after receiving punts, and once threaded his way through almost the entire Pennsylvania eleven for forty-five yards in spite of the fact that he had fumbled the punt before making the run. All of the men in the line did better than was expected. The guards, Barnard and Lee, both against men supposed to be their superiors, succeeded in holding their ground. It was only when running with the ball and tackling at the ends that Hare showed his superiority, for Harvard gained through Hare as easily as Pennsylvania gained through Barnard...
...ascertained merely by looking at the linesmen, are both kept constantly in view of the spectators; but as regards the time to play, not even the incomplete recording practiced formerly has been attempted. One might argue, and with good reason, that if the time could not be recorded any better than it has been in past years, the practice had best be done away with altogether. But why could not the time be posted in some reliable and systematic manner--say every five minutes until towards the end of the half, when it might be posted every minute...

This good showing was due not only to the excellent offense, but also to the strong defensive work of the line, which has undergone a great change for the better since the Indian game. This strength was shown in stopping the guards-back formation of the second eleven, which was used very often during the game. The best individual work was the brilliant running of Sawin and Gierasch. Both did some clever and effective dodging and followed their interference carefully...
...minutes before the end of the game. Then Kernan took Putnam's place, and by heady running began to get through Carlisle's line for gains. After an exchange of punts Harvard got the ball on the forty-five yard line. It then seemed that Harvard could do no better than make a tie. On the next play, however, Kernan broke through a hole made by J. Lawrence and picking up his interference started for the goal. Devens, Daly, Barnard and Stillman all helped him along, and by shaking off one or two tacklers himself, he got past the whole...
...Columbia made her greatest gains, but it was by hard line-plunging, the same style of play with which Yale used to win the game. As in the Harvard-Carlisle game, Columbia scored her touch-down by using an unlooked-for style of offense. Yale finally won, however, by better endurance...
