...show much improvement, but proved their superiority over the heavy Williams team in a rough, uninteresting game by making two touchdowns, and the following Saturday fairly swept the Springfield Training School off its feet, 44 to 0. Springfield proved much easier than last year and failed to work its forward passes with which they have usually been so proficient. Then the team went down to Annapolis and narrowly escaped defeat at the hands of the Navy team, Nourse running sixty yards with a fumbled ball for a tie score, 6 to 6. The Brown team was defeated...
...with every game, become a safer man in the backfield, and has been depended upon for the greater part of the punting since Burr was injured. Last Saturday he ran his team well, got his plays off with speed and smoothness and used good judgment. His work with the forward pass was excellent. Cutler had never played quarterback until this year, and for the last two years has played practically no football...
...ends Browne and Crowley are efficient men, tackle hard, and do well with the forward pass. Their one fault is that they are slow in getting down the field under punts. In Brown, Cutting and Houston, they have very able substitutes. The tackles, Fish and MacKay, are generally conceded to be two as good linemen as Harvard has had in some time.

At the end of the half the ball was in the Sophomores' possession on their own 20-yard line...
...beginning of the second half the Seniors advanced from their own 15-yard line almost the whole length of the field, losing the ball on an unsuccessful forward pass on the Sophomores' 15-yard line. From this point 1911 worked the ball back to their opponents' 35-yard line, where the ball changed hands on downs. The Seniors later recovered a fumble on the Sophomores' 30-yard line and advanced the ball to the 10-yard line, where the Sophomores got possession of it as the half ended...
