Harvard then worked hard, and by active play of the rushers, despite loose work of the halfbacks, kept the ball near the centre and then forced it slightly onto Yale ground. Hurd and Finney did well and Peabody exchanged long kicks with Terry. Soon Yale was again forcing and Kimball missed a kick on his own end. This gave Yale much ground. Kimball was tipped over after making a kick and partially stunned, but with great pluck continued to play throughout the game. Harvard had it "down" within the ten yard line, when Flanders broke through and securing the ball...
...side," got the ball and made a short rush. After a kick by Willard, Bayne muffed the ball and Bemis handsomely tackled Terry, who tried to run with it. This good work took the ball into Yale ground, but Harvard was soon put on the defence again, where Finney did some good tackling, and our rushers stopped some of the Yale attempts to pass. Next an unfortunate high punt by Peabody was caught by Bayne, only a few yards in front of the posts. From this fair catch Richards tried to kick a goal, but failed. Then Finney had another...

...game. The score stood at the end 29 points to 0 in our favor. Kimball kicked a goal from the field, four touchdowns were made, from three of which goals were kicked, and Dartmouth made one safety. Our rush line tackled well and got down on the ball together. Finney and Hurd rushed finely while Phillips played a steady, reliable game throughout. Kimball made several pretty runs and dodged very well, while Peabody tackled splendidly. The halfbacks were, however, lamentably weak in kicking, apparently using very little head word. The centre rush should snap the ball back without wasting...
