...first Weld graded crew is speedy at times but ragged at others. Their chief fault is slowness in getting forward. The order is: Stroke, G. Bancroft; 7, Ladd; 6, Shuebruk; 5, H. Bancroft; 4, Switzer; 3, Emory; 2, Evans (capt.); bow, Hartwell; cox., Goodwin...
...ends were surprisingly ineffective and had little speed. Behind the line several of the men played good individual games, but there was a total lack of co-operation and interference, especially on the line plays, where the runner usually had to shift for himself. The most serious single fault, and one which did most toward making the game so close, was the fumbling. In the receiving of punts and kicks the men were unsteady and muffed the ball in the majority of cases. Next to fumbling, offside play and interference with the centre lost Harvard the greatest amount of ground...
...first eleven men including Kendall, Ellis, Sawin and Kernan took part at one time or another. The execution of the line plays was quick and good, but on the end runs the men got in the way of each other and broke up the formations.

The team clearly showed the effects of the Pennsylvania game and the coaches were dissatisfied with the work...

He followed his interference as far as was practicable and seemed to know just when it was advisable to leave...
...field, and had it not been for him Pennsylvania would have had no strength whatever. Besides playing his position in good style he gained more ground than all the rest of his team taken together, and made most of the tackles on Harvard's end plays. His only fault was slowness in getting his punts away, and this resulted in a touchdown for Harvard. No other man on the Pennsylvania team approached Hare in playing. McCracken and Wallace gained a little ground, but could only do it occasionally. Grave's playing was marred by costly fumbling...
