...follow the play made the runs possible. In the game with the Freshman team, the University eleven started with a series of tackle plays which carried the ball in four minutes from the centre of the field to the goal line.

After the kick-off, Stillman punted to the Freshman team's 25 yard line, and after a few plays, Barnard blocked a punt...
GROTON, November 5, 1902.--Groton defeated St. Mark's today in the annual football game by a score of 36 to 0. Throughout the game the superior weight and team work of the Groton eleven enabled them to gain their distance at will. At the end of the first half the score stood 25 to 0, but in the second half the St. Mark's team, aided by more stubborn defense and by several fumbles, succeeded in holding their opponents down to 11 points. Groton scored six touchdowns, and St. Mark's was forced to make one safety. The feature...

Once the ball was lost by Harvard on downs, again...
Throughout the game, Harvard made gains which amounted in all to nearly 300 yards, but through fumbling or penalties was never able to make full use of the opportunities afforded to score. At the very start, the ball was carried, principally by means of Kernan's 40 yard run around right end, to Brown's 33 yard line, but Graydon was unable to gain on a centre play. Hurley was thrown for a loss of 4 yards and, in order that the ball might be kept, it was taken back 16 yards to the middle of the field. There Kernan...
