...strong in spite of the number of substitutes played. None of Newton's punts were blocked, although several times the fullback was prevented from kicking by many of the line-men rushing through. Swain and Mills both protected their territory in splendid style, the tandem plays through Swain gaining in almost every instance. Wheeler, who replaced Swain the second half, proved a vulnerable point in the Harvard line.
