...line on the defense was a tribute to the skill of Coach Lewis. Sargent made up for the absence of Boal, and played his position well. Hale handled Burnett remarkably well in spite of his light weight and of his short experience in the position. Brown and Burden were very closely matched and neither had any permanent advantage. Both lines played unostentatiously but effectively as is shown in the fact that there was no scoring...
...eight-yard line. Again Ellis was sent into the line, with Donald pushing him, and finally, on the ninth trial, he failed to gain and Yale got the ball on downs. On McBride's punt out, Daly made a fair catch, and, after taking ten yards for interference, allowed Burnett to try an almost impossible goal instead of rushing. The goal was missed by several yards. The rest of the half was spent in punting, and in a single attack by Yale on the Harvard line, without gains...
During the whole of the second half, Yale played to prevent Harvard from scoring. Burnett kicked off and McBride punted to midfield. Yale gained on the next exchange, and finally secured the ball on Harvard's 40-yard line on a forward pass by Sawin to Kendall. Yale could not gain by rushing, and then the ball was passed back 20 yards to McBride in order to keep possession of it, and obtain first down. Again Yale began to rush the ball and this time with better success. Fresh halfbacks gained through the line at will, until Harvard took...

With this nucleus of old players has been built up a Harvard eleven which today stands fully as strong as last year's at this date. The slump did not occur this year unless the reaction succeeding the Pennyslvania game can be called such. The minor teams, even...
Captain Burden, Donald, Boal, Hallowell and Burnett are playing the reliable game they did last year, and Lawrence has overcome the tendency to lose his head and is now a very steady player. Campbell has adjusted himself to the team more easily than any of the new men, and Daly plays the same game as last year. Kendall is a brilliant line bucker and Sawin dodges well, and Ellis's strength is in line plunging, although he is apt to fumble...
