Harvard's back field was not particularly good at preventing Yale men from recovering the ball on open plays but on the offense Harvard repeatedly made gains through Yale's line. The two most interesting features of the first half of the game were a 25-yard gain by Wendell after breaking through Yale's centre and an end run by T. Jones when near Harvard's goal line...
...fumbled in the centre of the field and Macdonald got the ball for Harvard. Lincoln made a long onside kick and T. Jones got the ball and was downed on Yale's 20-yard line. Veeder failed to gain on an end run. T. Jones made five yards with good interference. Veeder punted out of bounds in the middle of the field, the ball going to Harvard...
...season, winning by the score of 5 to 0. Although Captain Foster was unable to play the secondary defense was very strong. The work of Newhall and Starr in handling the numerous punts in the back field was excellent. Starr's work at end in this game was particularly good.

Dartmouth played a tricky game which proved very advantageous under the new rules, whereas...
...most conscientious players, is the steadiest ground gainer on the team and also fairly strong on the defensive. Lincoln, who has taken Wendell's place at right half, is a fair all round back. Of the substitute backs Lockwood is fast and a hard tackler, Gilder a good ground gainer, Mason of great value in the secondary defense, and Apollonio and excellent fullback, although he has had little practice on account of his injury. Gray was tried for some time at fullback, and in another year should be a valuable man. Newhall makes an ideal quarterback, for, besides running...
...centre and guards are generally supposed to be the best men Harvard has had for those positions for some time. Parker has been held back by the injury to his shoulder but he is now in good condition; he passes the ball well, is a strong defensive player, and very active for his weight. Kersburg, after playing on the team last year, is very nearly the leader of the eleven; he is a mainstay on the defensive, and helps the runner along well on the offensive. Burr is probably the most valuable man on the eleven; he plays guard...
