Great reliance is placed in a versatile ground-gaining set of backs. Veeder, at left halfback, although inclined to be slow in starting, is strong on the defense, keeps his feet well and follows his interference. He is also a very reliable punter. Morse and Roome are both fast half-backs. Morse is a hard line plunger, and Roome is especially useful in helping along the runner. Levine and Flinn are powerful fullbacks, but the latter's defensive game is rather weak. Hutchinson and Jones both use good generalship and get the plays off fast. Jones is best on running...
Shevlin and Cates are both fast ends. They get down well under punts and are sure tackles. Biglow at tackle lacks experience, but follows the ball well and is good on interference. Forbes on the left side of the line is quick in breaking through and is a reliable ground-gainer. Of the guards, Tripp plays well under all conditions and is generally sure of short gains when running with the ball. Erwin and Hockenberger are also strong guards. At centre Flanders is steady and passes with accuracy...

Harvard was fortunate in coming out of the game without serious injuries. There were weak places near the centre of the Dartmouth line, but the tackleback play was practically the only one which could get through them. The secondary defense of Harvard was very poor, although...
...whole, used good generalship and his work in catching punts was excellent, in view of the speed and reckless tackling of the Dartmouth ends. Although White was the weakest of the linemen, many gains were made between Kersburg and Squires. Brill and Squires were the most reliable ground-gainers for Harvard, and used with success a new tackleback formation. Harrison was by far the best defensive back, and time and again was effective by stopping plays which had broken through weak places in the line. Peirce, who replaced White at left guard in the second half, strengthened that side...
