...accordingly sent in my season ticket with four dollars for two seats. I had done all that any undergraduate could do; I had complied with every condition. When the seats were distributed I found that I had two seats in the extreme corner section, twenty-five yards behind the goal line, in the Yale stand. I am not alone; there are a thousand other Harvard undergraduates who are in a similar position. Certainly it seems to me that with nearly ten thousand seats in the Harvard stand, there should be room for twenty-five hundred undergraduates. Who, I should like...
...other backs played an uneven game. Sawin made a dashing halfback, and gained at will around right end and tackle. But his try for a goal from the field was blocked. Kendall was not so successful as a rusher. He was frequently slow in starting and often allowed Coombs to down him for losses. He was replaced by Warren in the last five minutes on account of a minor injury to his leg. Reid was used in the first half on account of his defensive ability, and was of great assistance in stopping the guards-back play. In spite...
Burnett kicked off to Hare who was promptly tackled by Hallowell. The guards-back plays failed to gain and Campbell secured the ball on an attempt at a fake kick. After a few rushes Reid failed to gain through centre and Sawin tried a goal from the field. Wallace blocked the kick. Coombs punted to Daly on Pennsylvania's thirty-five yard line. Five rushes, mostly by Kendall' carried the ball over the line. Daly's punt out was poor and no goal could be tried...
Daly misjudged Coomb's next punt, and lost fifteen yards. A weak kick by Hallowell went outside at Harvard's 35 yard line. Barnard tried a goal from the field but failed. During the rest of the half Harvard had the ball on the 15 yard line twice, but could not score. Daly used the double pass for long gains, but was prevented from scoring by the call of time...
Daly gained 30 yards by returning Hare's kick-off in the next half. Coombs punted short to Campbell, and then a steady attack on the guards soon resulted in a touchdown by Ellis. Daly punted out to Hallowell and Lawrence kicked the goal. More punting followed in Hallowell's favor. Burnett tried for a goal from the 51-yard line after a fair catch but failed. Finally Harvard se- cured the ball on downs on Pennsylvania's 20-yard line and soon pushed Ellis over for the third and last touchdown. Lawrence missed the goal...
