...sidelines for a gain of 20 yards. The next forward pass was even more spectacular. After two vain attempts to gain through the line. Sprackling shot the ball at an angle to the left and directly into the hands of Adams, who was running at top speed as he caught the ball. Although he made the catch on the 16-yard line, he had crossed the 5-yard mark before a Harvard player pulled him down. Again the University line refused to let the Brown backs through, but Sprackling had a play for just such an occasion. On a delayed...
...defied the Brown forwards, ran the remaining distance for a touchdown. Potter soon made another five points possible by the prettiest sort of open field work. Reynolds was waiting to catch one of Sprackling's punts on Harvard's 40-yard line when Potter, rushing in front of him, caught the ball on the run, and circled the left end of the entire Brown team for a gain of 67 yards. He was forced out of bounds by Bartlett on Brown's 3-yard line...
...first score of the period was made by Tobey of the second team, who caught a forward pass and got loose for a 20 yard run for a touchdown. The field-goal was not attempted.

Claverly caught the water first, and took a short lead, but within a few strokes Hampden-Dunster passed it and was not headed throughout the remainder of the distance. The real interest of the race was in the struggle for second place between Randolph, Weld, and Mt. Auburn street. At Harvard Bridge Randolph and Weld were almost even, with Mt. Auburn street a half-length behind, rowing...
...first team backs were powerless. Of the three times that the goal line was endangered, one chance to score was lost on a penalty, another on a poor forward pass, and the third time the second team took the ball on downs. After 20 minutes of play Storer caught a forward pass intended for the second team end, and ran 50 yards for a touchdown...
