...Brown got the ball on her thirty-five yard line. Washburn then circled Ristine's end for twenty-five yards, and a moment later Barry got around Bowditch for twenty-five yards more. This took the ball to the twenty-yard line, but Brown could make no further gain. Bates then tried a place kick from the thirty yard line, but the pass was poor and Harvard got the ball. Then by a series of short line plunges by Kernan, Putnam and Stillman, Harvard slowly carried the ball to Brown's five-yard line. An offside play and two missed...
...unfortunate. The defensive work of the whole team changed completely during the game. At the start it was demoralized by the Indians' fast and aggressive playing. The first sign of improvement was shown a little later in the first half, when Carlisle's was held for downs on the five-yard line and from that time on Carlisle's gains became less. This was one of the encouraging features in Harvard's playing. A similar, although not so great a change, took place in the team work. Carlisle had an advantage in the concerted playing of its entire eleven until...
Kendall returned Morley's kick-off in the second half and the ball rolled to Columbia's ten-yard line. Harvard stopped two mass plays and got the ball on downs on the twelve-yard line. A ten-yard buck by Sawin and another short one by Ellis scored the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked a difficult goal. Soon after the kick off Ellis made a well-placed punt from the middle of the field to Columbia's five-yard line. Columbia failed to gain twice and Harvard got the ball on the five yard line on Morley's poor punt...
...well. Ellis and E. Kendall made ten yards through the line, and on the third play the latter got around left end for fifty yards before being tackled on the ten-yard line. The second team got the ball on a fumble, and punted to the middle of the field. 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. A series...
...decided only in the last minute of play by a goal from the field. The Princeton backs showed unexpected strength in line bucking, and with excellent interference, they gained repeatedly on end plays. As was shown in the first half, when Yale was held for downs on the five-yard line, Princeton's defense was very strong. On the other hand, Yale had the advantage of fine generalship and was quick to take advantage of every opportunity...
