...Ellis were unsuccessful at line-plunging because of slow starting. Of the backs Sawin alone was up to his usual form. He made the touchdown on a thirty-five yard run around right end, and did some fairly good punting. The best part of his work, however, was his drop-kicking. Out of seven attempts at goals from the field, he succeeded in making four, three from the twenty-five yard line and one from the thirty-five yard line...

Sawin then circled right end for twenty-five yards, but failed in an attempt at a drop-kick goal from the thirty-five yard line. The second team again punted to the middle of the field, and Sawin ran it back twenty yards by an exciting dodging run.

Two minutes later, Harvard secured the ball at the same place, and Daly made a second unsuccessful attempt at a goal. Harvard then began another attack on the Williams line. E. Kendall and Graydon carried the ball fifty yards on short plunges, and I. Kendall...
