...crew started first, ten seconds ahead of the second, and was able to hold this lead over the latter crew throughout the race. The second crew was never a dangerous opponent and the race soon proved to be a struggle between the University and third crews. The former easily gained on the second and passed it at the Longwood avenue bridge. When coming into the basin the first was almost even with the third, while the second was a length behind. This order was kept until they approached Harvard bridge, when the University eight took the lead. The third...
...opponents' territory, the University team should have scored again. Three times Harvard reached the Indians' 5-yard line only to be put back, twice for off-side work and once for holding. The University team was splendid on the defence, blocking Thorpe's place-kick and allowing but little gain through the line. When the Indian team had rushed the ball to the 2-yard line, they were unable to gain again and lost the ball on downs. Both teams used the forward pass frequently. Harvard was particularly successful, while Carlisle failed on all but one. Cutler and Fish worked...
...outset, Balenti kicked off to Corbett, who ran the ball back to the 18-yard line. Carlisle was penalized five yards for off-side play. Corbett was thrown for loss, and Kennard punted to Belenti, who was downed on Harvard's 53-yard line. Hendricks failed to gain, and Thorpe punted to Browne on the 30-yard line. Cutler's punt went to Balenti, who ran back ten yards to the 50-yard line. The Indians here fumbled a forward pass, the ball going to Harvard. Carlisle was again penalized for off-side play, and the ball was advanced...
...kick-off rolled over the goal line to Corbett for a touchback. Cutler punted out to Thorpe on the 45-yard line. The first play netted eight yards, and Payne made first down at right tackle. A double pass finally went forward to Wauseuka for eleven yards' gain. Thorpe reached the 5-yard line on the next play, but a forward pass went wrong, putting the ball on the 25-yard line. Another attempted forward pass went into Browne's hands. A penalty put Harvard on the 1-yard line, and Cutler punted to Thorpe, who was thrown by Crowley...
After kicking out of bounds once, MacKay kicked off to Thorpe, who ran outside on the 22-yard line. The Indians failed to gain on line plays, and Thorpe was forced to punt to Cutler on Harvard's 33-yard line. Leslie made six yards, and was followed by White, who, with MacKay's interference, made twenty-five yards. Leslie in the next three rushes took the ball twenty seven yards by splendid plunging. Then two penalties for off-side play gave the ball to Carlisle. Leslie received the ball to Carlisle. Leslie received the ball from Thorpe in midfield...
