...made both Worcester's scores possible. Kelley and Wilson made several end runs for 20-yard gains. Lewis and Carr did the best work for the Freshmen. The former gained consistently through Worcester's left guard, the weak place in the Worcester line, and the latter recovered a short forward pass from Gardner for the Freshmen's only score. Felton out-kicked Kelley, but this advantage was more than offset by Melican's ability to regain Kelley's kicks...
...Gardner, who, by good dodging, ran it back 20 yards to his own 35-yard line. On twelve plays, for the most part through right guard by Lewis, the ball was brought to Worcester's 3-yard line, where a penalty set the Freshmen back five yards. A short forward pass, Gardner to Carr, scored a touchdown for Harvard. Lewis kicked a difficult goal. Wendell ran the kick-off back 20 yards. Felton kicked to Melican, who was downed by Carr for no gain. A forward pass to Sibley gained 10 yards, but the next play, also a forward pass...

From this point, by successive line plunges, in which the runner was well supported, the Seniors carried the ball to the Sophomores' 1-yard line. Here the 1912 team stiffened, but was unable to prevent a touchdown...
During the secret football practice in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, the first and second teams had a long, hard scrimmage. Aided by a fumbled punt and a pretty forward pass to Crowley, the second team was able to score on the first, a feat which has been accomplished only once before this season. However, the first team came back very hard and scored four times on the second, plunging straight through the line on the old fashioned plays. The second team used Cornell formations almost entirely, and these plays are being used to prepare the team for the game...
