...line. Burr's punting hardly compensated for his poor work in the line, but Pinrce who replaced him very late in the game strengthened the defense considerably. Kersburg played a fair game on the offense, but it was through him that Pennsylvania made some of her longest gains. Brill was matched against Lamson and easily held his own. He was used effectively in the tandem formation. The Harvard ends were rather slow in getting down the field and Macdonald missed several tackles. Leary, on the other hand, made some splendid tackles, proving himself at present the most reliable end. Captain...
Burr kicked off to Sheble who was checked by Macdonald and fumbled just as he was tackled by Kersburg, the latter falling on the ball. Lockwood, Foster and Brill were unable to gain the required distance and the ball went to Pennsylvania on downs on the 10-yard line. Sheble immediately punted to Starr who fell on Harvard's 40-yard line. Brill fumbled, but recovered the ball and Lockwood went through Rooke for three yards. Brill added a yard and, on a divided play without interference, Foster gained four more. Pennsylvania was twice penalized for offside play and three...

On a split play Hurley gained four yards and Squires followed with an equal distance through Hobson. Harvard then lost 15 yards for Brill's holding and on a fake formation with Burr back, Hurley was thrown by Folwell for a two-yard loss. He fumbled when tackled and the ball went to Pennsylvania in mid-field. Parker was ruled out here for unnecessary roughness and was replaced by White. After a penalty Sheble...

...desired. For halfbacks, Hurley, Foster, Wendell and Leonard are all strong on the attack. Guild and Lockwood, although lacking experience, have both been doing promising work at fullback. Starr runs the team fast and uses good judgment in directing his plays. He has at present no reliable substitute. Neither Brill nor Squires fills his position satisfactorily on the defense, but Brill is valuable on the tackle-back play. Kersburg and Burr, guards, are both somewhat weak in defensive work, but are improving and Burr's punting is of great assistance to the team. White has been doing fair work...
