...allowance of 50 cents each for the first five games will be made on purchase of tickets and presentation of the H. A. A. ticket...
...defence was strong, especially in the second half. The only time Bates gained first down, was by an onside kick which should have been caught by one of the Harvard backs. The line played too high, noticeably the left side, and permitted their opponents to get under them. The lack of scrimmages in practice probably accounts for the fumbling and this should be remedied by the end of the week. The offence was rather erratic, though P. D. Smith was almost always able to gain the required distance...
Captain Fish won the toss and Harvard received the kick-off at the north end of the field. O'Flaherty ran in the kick-off 12 yards to the 27-yard line. Bates was offside on the first play, and Corbert punted to Bates's 50-yard line. G. G. Browne recovered the ball when Bates fumbled. Corbett failed to gain outside tackle, but P. D. Smith gained fourteen yards through centre. After two line plays, O'Flaherty tried a forward pass, but was tackled before he could get the ball away and fumbled, Keaney recovering the ball for Bates...
Bates kicked off to P. D. Smith, who made a sensational run of 50 yards through a broken field. The ball was brought back to Harvard's 10-yard line, however, as Browne was holding. Corbett punted on the first play to Lovely, who ran outside on Harvard's 54-yard line. Two plays gained five yards, McKay stopping the second one before it started. Keaney tried a drop-kick from the 50-yard line, the ball bounding over Harvard's goal line. The ball was put in play again on the 25-yard line and Corbett slipped by tackle...
...After two plays Frothingham punted and Cummings fumbled when L. D. Smith tackled him, Forster falling on the ball. P. D. Smith made 25 yards through centre. Bates held Harvard for downs, O'Flaherty using very poor judgment in his selection of plays. Bates fumbled but recovered on the first play on her own 11-yard line. O'Hare replaced West at left guard. Keaney punted outside to Frothingham on Bates's 30-yard line, and Harvard was penalized 15 yards for holding. P. D. Smith went through centre for 13 yards. Loveland was substituted for Carroll at left guard...
