...little value in bucking the line and lost a good chance to score by fumbling on the three yard line. All the touchdowns were the result of long end runs by W. Lawrence, Kernan and Kendall. J. Lawrence kicked all of the six goals, three of which were difficult ones, and Kendall kicked a goal from the field after a free catch by Daly on the forty-eight yard line...
...yards after catching a punt. The best work behind the line was done by Sawin. He seemed to have no difficulty in breaking through holes in the right side of the line, and scored two of the touchdowns on plays of this kind. He failed, however, on three rather difficult tries at goals from the field. Ellis was as successful as usual in bucking the line, and for the first time this season he helped the other backs to gain by mass plays. He did all of the punting, and was more successful than usual, although he made...

A ten-yard buck by Sawin and another short one by Ellis scored the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked a difficult goal. Soon after the kick off Ellis made a well-placed punt from the middle of the field to Columbia's five-yard line. Columbia failed to gain twice and Harvard got the ball on the five yard line on Morley's poor punt. Sawin on the next play broke through right...

This was good for the team in that it gave the men experience in handling a wet ball, which may be of advantage in important games. For the first ten minutes of the game between the first and second elevens very little fumbling was done, but toward the end it seemed impossible for the backs to handle the ball cleanly. Both teams relied entirely on mass plays and punts, as end running was out of the question. The first team barely...
