...Brown carried the ball over Harvard's goal line, thus being the second team which has scored on Harvard this fall. Five minutes before the close of the game, with the score tied, 5 to 5, Starr made a fair catch on Brown's 26-yard line, from which Burr kicked a goal from placement and won the game...
...forward pass worked well for both elevens whenever it was tried, but on the onside kick only once was successfully used. Newhall's work in running the University eleven was excellent, particularly in the second half, when he carried the ball into striking distance by the aid of Burr's repeated punts. Starr, who replaced Macdonald at right end in the second half, played a fast game and was better in every respect than either of the other men who played at end. Burr and Kersburg were the main reliance of the University eleven on the defense, and at times...
Lockwood ran back Brown's kick-off 22 yards to the 27-yard line. Burr punted, and after Brown had been forced back to the 12-yard line on a blocked kick, Dennie returned the punt to Newhall, who carried the ball from Harvard's 50-yard line to Brown's 44-yard line.

After a few short gains Macdonald tried a goal from placement which failed on account of a poor pass. Newhall got the ball outside on the 6-yard line...
...practice yesterday afternoon was extremely light, there being no scrimmage. For the first 16 minutes nearly all the men had kicking practice, Burr trying punts, Wendell goals from placement, and Newhall, Starr, and Kennard drop kicks. After a few minutes of line-up between the first and second teams in which the University eleven was identical with the one which will play today, three teams were formed for signal practice...
