...field for a touchdown. The 'Varsity scored one more touchdown soon after on brilliant running by Gierasch. Poor interference on the kick-off failed to carry the ball down the field. Strong defensive play by the second held the first for downs, but the guards-back formation could not gain. Exchanges of punts followed, and, one of Warren's kicks being blocked, Peyton secured the ball on the first eleven's twenty-five yard line. The guards-back plays worked well, and the 'Varsity was unable to prevent Lee and Rainsford from gaining their distance. Ground given for offside play...
...straight football, with the possible exception of punting, Brown was distinctly outclassed in Saturday's game, some cleverly worked trick plays alone preventing Harvard from running up a much larger score. None of the guards back formations or mass plays which Brown tried against the line were able to gain...
After Burnett had kicked off, Richardson made twenty yards around Hallowell. Frequent punting made the ball change hands often, Harvard occasionally trying Brown's ends, with little success. Brown finally attempted rushing, but lost the ball for offside play. Failing to gain around Cuddy, Sawin punted on the third down, the ball going outside on Brown's twenty-yard line. Bates returned a low, bounding ball, which Sawin cleverly handled. Daly then changed his tactics, and, after ten plays, alternating centre plunges and mass plays on tackle, Kendall was sent across for a touchdown. Sawin kicked an easy goal...
...Freshmen had a slight advantage in weight, and their back-field played together better than that of Worcester. Fumbling was their worst fault. Worcester played a stubborn, defensive game, allowing but one touchdown in each half. Their high tackling, however, allowed the Freshman backs to gain many times after they should have been stopped...
...Hurley, Warren and Ellis, a costly fumble, or offside play would give the ball to Bates, and lessen the chances for a touchdown. Hurley and Sawin were the only backs who went into the line low. The hurdling style of Ellis and Warren, although effective yesterday, will not gain ground against a strong team. In the back-field, Sawin did excellent work. He outpunted Putnam repeatedly and by following his interference well, made several long runs...
