...used practically the same style of play against both Harvard and Pennsylvania, and thus the games with the Indians give the best opportunity for judging the relative strength. In that game as well as in the game with Lafayette, Pennsylvania was extremely weak on the offense and unable to gain when within striking distance of its opponent's goal. Harvard, on the contrary, showed a remarkably strong offense, but was unable to hold against a faster team. In the practice of the past week much time has been given to remedying this latter defect and, if the team plays...
...yard line Sheble punted to Starr, who caught the ball on the 40-yard line and made five yards before he fell. Brill fumbled, but the ball was recovered and Lockwood made first down through the same place. On the next play he failed to gain.

After rushing the ball to the 30-yard line, the first eleven lost it on downs as a result of Gilder's fumbles. The second was unable to gain, and after losing five yards on a fumble, lost the ball on downs. After a few rushes by the first Spear went over for a touchdown and Cunniff kicked the goal...
Snyder ran the next kickoff back 20 yards but fumbled, Peirce recovering the ball on the 30-yard line. Wendell made 10 yards around right end until stopped by Greenebaum's hard tackle. Steady gains carried the ball down the field and Wendell made the touchdown. Cunniff again kicked the goal. The first eleven was then given the ball on its own 25-yard line and after one rush Wendell punted to the second's 40-yard line. Peirce's offside play gave the second team five yards, but the first eleven immediately held for downs and rushed the ball...
