...series of rushes which ended in Hinkle's 38 yard run for a touchdown, Yale never had the ball inside Harvard's fifty yard line. Harvard's team work was excellent, and the men played with commendable vigor and dash. During the entire game, Yale was able to gain a total of only about 150 yards, mostly on Hinkle's long end runs, while Harvard rushed the ball for more than 400 yards without a fumble. In punting, Harvard averaged 33 yards, almost 10 yards more than Yale. Yale was continually forced to punt, three times, however, losing the ball...
...first half Yale received the ball on the kick-off, but could not gain. After four minutes of play Leatherbee blocked White's attempt to punt and secured the ball on Yale's 15 yard line. Four rushes by the tackle-back formation brought the ball down to Yale's 5 yard line, and then Mills carried it over. Harvard's second touchdown was made nine minutes afterward, when Yale fumbled a punt on the 10 yard line, and Mills on the second play was pushed over the goal line. After the next kick-off Harvard seemed to relax, while...
...second half the play was made interesting by brilliant end runs. Harvard's first touchdown was made by Mills on a 30 yard run after Sard's 30 yard gain and plunges by Leatherbee had carried the ball within striking distance. After the kick-off Hurley ran around the end for 35 yards and Randall made the touchdown on the next play. The last touchdown was made in four plays. Randall ran 20 yards around right end and Hurley made 42 around the other end. Randall gained 10 yards and then Hurley plunged over the line for a touchdown...
...this year. Harvard's line was not quick in charging and did not play well together, often starting ahead of the ball and being frequently penalized for so doing. The Harvard backs were unsteady and often slow in starting, and, with the exception of Graydon, seemed unable to gain ground consistently. There was very little interference and even that was broken up because of the weakness of the tackles. To this weakness of the tackles was due Dartmouth's ability to gain through the line, for the centre trio showed a steady and effective defense and helped the rest...
...handled himself awkwardly and did not take care of his opponent. J. T. Jones, who took his place, played aggressively, but not with good judgment. Lawrence at right tackle was not strong in defense and on the offense did not get his opponent out of the way. He gained ground unusually well on the tackles-back play. Bowditch at right end got down well under punts and played reliably. He was too eager, however, and twice caused a loss of 10 yards for offside play. Matthews, who took his place, was fairly capable. Motley was as steady as usual...
