Although the University team had little difficulty in gaining its distance during the second half Bates made long gains through the centre of the Harvard line. Cutler had trouble getting off his forward passes and worked only one with success during the game. Nourse and Crowley played well, and in the backfield Corbett and Smith were good ground gainers. Leslie at right halfback played well for his first game and should prove a valuable...
...length of the field for the second score. Burr again kicked the goal. On the next kick-off Cutler ran back seventeen yards, and on the next play White ran the ball from the Harvard 27-yard line to the opponent's 47-yard line. Nourse recovered Cutler's forward pass which Crowley was unable to get. Harvard was penalized fifteen yards for holding, and on the next play Cobb caught Cutler's onside kick on Bates' 16-yard line. Bates punted to Cutler, and Burr's forward pass netted twenty yards. Cutler fumbled Kearney's punt on Harvard...

...goal threatened. Both teams played hard and fast and each seemed perfectly able to gain through the other's line. Fumbling was much in evidence, and the play ragged and disjointed at times. Several good formations were used that will develop into sure ground-gainers with sufficient practice. The forward pass was worked with perfect success once, and failed another time. The line-up follows: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Groves, l.e. r.e., Clifford Dowey, l.f. r.t., Holt Fisher, Kelly, Douglas, l.g. r.g., Strong Knapp, c. c., C.
