...opponent's goal. Miller was largely responsible with two long runs, one of 18 yards, through the center of the line. An end run by Hammond was stopped before it got under way, but Miller again saved the day when he made another 18-yard gain on a criss-cross play. The ball was now on the second's 32-yard line. On the next play a short, wide forward from Hammond to Cheek completely fooled the scrubs and enabled Cheek to score on a long run, Miller made the point after touchdown on a dropkick...
...team-work that won for the Crimson last night. Using to good advantage their experience against the Engineers on Saturday, the University team completely bewildered their opponents by the dazzling speed with which they passed the ball over the court, most of the Crimson tallies resulting from a rapid criss-cross in front of the opposing basket. In addition to sound court tactics the Crimson total was swelled considerably by a succession of remarkable distance shots by Fitts and Gordon, the former especially excelling in goals from difficult angles...
...variety, the Pine Tree Staters seemed content to plug away at a stone-wall line or to essay futile swings around the end that usually were broken up before they reached the line of scrimmage. Only once was anything other than a straight play tried; and this criss-cross play was unmercifully smothered for a five-yard loss.

...other teams during the early season games and held the University to a 7-0 score on October 18. The touchdown came in the first quarter when an 80-yard march down the field swept the Brown team off its feet. During the second half a series of criss-cross plays took the Brown football machine from their own 25-yard line to the University's 22-yard mark before the Crimson men could stop the onrush. J. K. Ryan Occ and P. D. Steele '20 in the end berths, accounted for many brilliant plays. R. M. Sedgwick...
Brown received Harvard's kick-off on her 25-yard line. From here Fox drove his team down the field by a series of brilliant criss-cross plays, Fox, Shupert and Armstrong carrying the ball. At the University 25-yard line Brown was set back by an offside penalty. A Brooks to Albright pass netted eight yards. Two more frantic rushes were stopped for no gain. Fox unsuccessfully drop-kicked from the 30-yard line. Humphrey out-punted Armstrong, thus advancing the ball to the Brown 25 yard line by the end of the quarter...
