...yard line. In these plays, Millard as before was the principal actor. It was Lewis's alertness which saved Millard's pretty run of 22 yards from ending with a touchdown. Again, too, Harvard braced and did what might just as well have been done before her goal was seriously threatened. It is undoubtedly true that Newell's absence was largely the cause of this weakness. And yet this very fact shows that defensive team play has not by any means been fully developed Such narrow escapes from being scored against are valuable experiences, providing they occur not too often...
Bond and Beals were both stronger than their opponents and broke through repeatedly. The good work of Harding and Wrenn prevented Exeter from gaining around the ends. Ninety-four, however, lost several chances to score, and once when the ball was within a few yards of Exeter's goal they were compelled to surrender it on four downs. Brooks and Garrison made several long runs...

Dunlop made a poor attempt to drop on the ball in the beginning of the game when Dartmouth dropped the ball and it rolled towards Harvard's goal. His slowness then was almost inexcusable. There was also an occasional fumble and misunderstanding of signals which reflected little credit on Harvard's work. On the whole, however, the game contained much that was very encouraging...
