Harvard profited by Brown's mistakes, but much more could have been gained in this way if the team had followed the ball more closely and been on the alert when Brown fumbled. Brown analyzed the University team's plays quickly, while the Harvard forwards were puzzled at all times by the opposing line shift, in spite of the fact that this play...

...Brown could not gain, McKay punted to Corbett who was thrown on his 43-yard line. On the next play Harvard was penalized 15 yards for holding, and Potter punted to Sprackling, who advanced the ball to his 20-yard line. From here Brown's splendid attack carried the ball in 16 plays to Harvard's 2-yard line. High and McKay alternating at either side of centre went to the 47-yard line. A forward pass hit Ashbaugh's hands and went outside where it was recovered by a Brown man. McKay made first down just across midfield. After...
