...yards made Harvard's touchdown possible; his fumble, however, soon after the beginning of the game, was a costly one. Clark and Burgess, at ends, both played well generally, but were slow on punts. A. Marshall did excellent work in his position and Wright showed more energy and fight than he has in any previous game this season. Graydon was consistent in his gains; Marshall ran the team with good judgment and made several brilliant runs after catching punts...
...line without fight, not over-reliable ends, easily-broken interference, and unsteady backs are not the elements which compose a successful eleven, yet some-how the team with its many weaknesses. has managed to win all its games so far from much lighter opponents. Slow spasmodic progress has made the present strength of the team a trifle uncertain, but at no time has the eleven displayed any abilities that would justify confidence in its success when matched against an opponent of more than average weight or experience. Both these latter qualities are components of the Brown team, and added...
Hollins was badly off his game all day and was unable to score against Reinhart in either round. Murdock made a plucky fight against Conklin, and in the afternoon gained one hole.

Whitwell, as usual, resorted to rough tactics, and did practically nothing to help the team. Stillman showed more fight than he has before, but his slowness and fumbling were entirely too costly...
Harvard defeated the University of Maine on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon by a score of 22 to 0. The game, or at least the first half of it, was a struggle in which a light team of slight experience, through mere pluck and determination, made a much heavier team fight extraordinarily hard for the ground it gained. During the fifteen minutes of the first half, the Harvard eleven was rarely able to gain its distance in less than three downs, several times lost the ball, and was frequently forced to punt. Had not fresh players been used in the Harvard...
