...every department of straight football, with the possible exception of punting, Brown was distinctly outclassed in Saturday's game, some cleverly worked trick plays alone preventing Harvard from running up a much larger score. None of the guards back formations or mass plays which Brown tried against the line were able to gain...
Harvard used straight football tactics throughout the game. After the first ten minutes of play had proved that Brown has the best pair of ends which the team has met this season, the unsuccessful interference plays were given up for a steady battering of Brown's line. It was a succession of attacks on centre and right tackle which resulted in the two touchdowns made. In punting, Harvard had rather the worst of it.

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...
...will be possible to obtain an idea of the real strength of the University eleven in the game with Brown at 3 o'clock this afternoon. As Boal and Reid will be the only men missed from the line-up, Harvard will be able to oppose a good team to the strong Brown eleven. The latter has a good record for this season, and in past seasons has always played games which proved of great value to Harvard elevens. It will require strong team play to break up Harvard's defense, and the offensive work should be effective...
