...getting down the field under punts. Wigglesworth, who played in the latter part of the Yale game last year, will play quarterback today. His ability is unquestioned and throughout the season he has shown skill in varying the attack and inspiring the team to do its best. In generalship he is a shade above Potter, who, however, has the better of Wigglesworth on taking risks. Both are fairly efficient at drop-kicks and can be depended upon to score inside the 25-yard line. Although Wigglesworth will start, Potter will undoubtedly get in, as the difference between...
...Indians tackled hard, but their play lacked finish and decisiveness, and their generalship was poor at times. Their best play was a well-developed criss-cross aimed at the tackle, but they were unable to gain by this at all consistently...

In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent. Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends...
...more of these open plays. The longest run was of 75 yards by Mt. Pleasant, the Carlisle quarterback. His interference opened up a lane through the midst of the Harvard team and through this he ran for a touchdown. Throughout the game his playing was remarkable. His generalship was excellent and in the backfield he ran back punts and kickoffs for long gains. His all around work stamps him as one of the best quarterbacks in the country...
