...line was very strong. Harvard showed great improvement over its work in the Bates game. O'Flaherty at quarterback and Frothingham, who took Corbett's place early in the game, played brilliantly. O'Flaherty ran the team very well, used a good selection in his plays, sent off three forward passes without a failure and made several brilliant runs. Frothingham made a sensational dodging run of 45 yards after catching a punt, and several other times made long gains by beautiful running. In the line all the regulars played an aggressive game. Fish often was under a punt before...
...Smith, and Harvard put the ball in play on the 25-yard line. Corbett on two plays outside tackle made 20 yards. P. D. Smith was stopped on a centre play, then Corbett made a 37-yard run to Bowdoin's 34-yard line. Houston juggled a forward pass, but recovered it, putting the ball on Bowdoin's 21-yard line. Three line plunges netted fifteen yards, and P. D. Smith smashed through guard for the first touchdown. Withington kicked a pretty goal...

After resting a few days the crew resumed work in Cambridge, having about two weeks there before leaving for New London. In these few days the crew seemed to go backward rather than forward in its development. A decided hang was developed at the catch, the life and dash of the crew was gone, the stroke was considerably shortened, and Sargent did not regain his form. In the first few days at New London the crew improved materially and seemed to be emerging from...
...next Saturday at Ithaca another decisive game is to be played. Throughout, the team has shown a sprit of determination to win that has been a considerable factor in its success. A splendid showing has been made so far, and it is with confident anticipation that we look forward to the final games of the season...
