...touchdown was made in each half, the first after about 10 minutes of play. The rest of the first half was a punting contest between Adams and Burr. Both made long, high kicks, with the advantage slightly in Burr's favor. Harvard's second touchdown was scored after the ball had been carried over 100 yards by straight rushing. It was made in 30 plays on one of which Harvard was penalized five yards for offside play. Starr showed excellent judgment in directing the plays and this, combined with the ability of the backs to gain at critical moments, kept...

Burr will be tried at guard and his punting should be of valuable assistance to the team. Knowlton, who in the short time he has been out, has done very promising work, will be in at right tackle.
