...first half the Freshmen were slightly outplayed, and the ball was in their territory most of the time. Dean worked the forward pass very successfully, and gained consistently through the line. Cutler's punting, however, was of great help to the Freshmen, and was chiefly instrumental in keeping the ball from their goal line...
...brace, and a punting duel resulted between Grant and Minot, who had taken Cutler's place. The last three minutes of play furnished the sensation of the game. After the Freshmen had received the ball on a punt on their own ten-yard line, Minot made a long forward pass to Crowley, who carried the ball to Dean's 15-yard line. Another forward pass was tried, and Minot recovered the ball, on the four-yard line. On the next play Minot carried it over the line...
...outplayed, and did not play the ever-ready, quick game that the Indians did. Their playing was too crude to win, and, compared to the Indians, the team as a whole was woefully undeveloped. The speed of the Indian backs and the manner with which they handled the forward pass made Harvard seem slow and crude in comparison. Carlisle had the science of interference down to perfection and their blocking off of Bird and Macdonald time and again was one cause of their frequent long runs around the ends...

Hadden played a good game in the line, and followed the ball well, recovering one forward pass on the 20-yard line.

The practice was characterized by the inability of either team to gain consistently, and by the consequent exchanges of punts which took place throughout the period. Though many forward passes and onside kicks were attempted by both teams, very few of them resulted in gains, while a number of penalties for uncompleted passes were inflicted. However, successful forward passes made possible both of the University team's scores, the first of which was made by M. C. Peirce after recovering...
