...besides losing a great deal of distance and chances to score through off-side play and holding. In spite of this, however, the team had little difficulty in making regular gains, principally through the line, the whole eleven playing a snappy and fast offensive game. Nevertheless, whenever West Point got the ball a weak spot was usually found in the Harvard team and short regular gains resulted, but sooner or later a fumble put an end to the rally. Harvard's strength lay in bucking the line and running in the open field, and the weakness was in the defensive...
...circled the ends with good interference and gained anywhere from twenty to fifty yards on almost every run. Although the large score was due partly to the weakness of the Bates ends, the Harvard interference was very creditable and was responsible for most of the gains. It formed quickly, got away firmly, and stuck together very well. This, however, was the only part of the work which showed any improvement. The line, although strong in defense, did not put enough life into the play and seldom broke through to open holes or block punts. The backs did not stick...
...yard line and Ellis carried it over the line on a plunge through right guard. J. Lawrence kicked the goal. The second touchdown was the indirect result of Mifflin's two failures to get the ball away on punts. He finally succeeded in punting and the first team got the ball on the twentyfive yard line. Several short gains by Jaynes and Kernan and two long plunges by Ellis made the touchdown. J. Lawrence again kicked the goal. Near the end of the game the first team rushed the ball to the twenty five yard line, and Kernan tried...
Kendall kicked off to Weeks who fumbled, but Berrien got the ball on the twenty-yard line. On the next play Sykes passed the ball from the centre of the field to Slocovitch who was on the side-lines. Graydon tackled him before he gained any distance. Weeks made a failure of an attempt to punt, and J. Lawrence kicked the ball over the line where Ristine fell on it for the first touchdown less than a minute after the game begun. J. Lawrence kicked the goal. After the next kick-off Harvard by Daly's forty-five yard...
Kendall returned Morley's kick-off in the second half and the ball rolled to Columbia's ten-yard line. Harvard stopped two mass plays and got the ball on downs on the twelve-yard line. A ten-yard buck by Sawin and another short one by Ellis scored the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked a difficult goal. Soon after the kick off Ellis made a well-placed punt from the middle of the field to Columbia's five-yard line. Columbia failed to gain twice and Harvard got the ball on the five yard line on Morley's poor punt...
