Soon after the kick off Peabody made a kick, and Hurd being put "on side," got the ball and made a short rush. After a kick by Willard, Bayne muffed the ball and Bemis handsomely tackled Terry, who tried to run with it. This good work took the ball into Yale ground, but Harvard was soon put on the defence again, where Finney did some good tackling, and our rushers stopped some of the Yale attempts to pass. Next an unfortunate high punt by Peabody was caught by Bayne, only a few yards in front of the posts. From this...
...second inning began at a few minutes before 4 o'clock. Harvard presented the same team, but Yale made one change. Flanders who had strained himself retired, and Storrs took his place, Harvard had the kick off and, while Willard was punting the ball, our rushers got down in time to tackle Richards, who had secured it and was trying to run.

...good work Harvard had the ball "down" on Yale ground. Then the only real attempt at offensive play was made by Harvard. The ball was given to Hurd, who attempted to run around, but was stopped before he had gained much ground. Then Peabody dodged prettily and got in a good kick, and the ball having hit a Yale man was caught by Hurd, who made a pretty rush, the best made by any Harvard man. Harvard worded hard, but Yale forced the ball, when Terry, getting a catch in mid-field, made his only successful...
...cannot learn in six weeks to takle low, when he knows that he would thereby almost double the effectiveness of his play, we, in our ignorance, cannot see. Nor do we see why a Harvard captain and foot ball committee cannot give their men to understand that they have got to do as they are told, and play as they are told, at the risk of not getting on the team,-as well as the foot ball powers of Yale or Princeton, a Yale or Princeton eleven will complete alter their method of play in a single year (and that...
