...best playing for Exeter was done by her half-back, Holden, whose run in the first three-quarters was by ad odds the prettiest play of the game. For Harvard, the rushing of Cochrane, Fletcher and Brooks was noticeable, and the kicking of Willard was particularly good.

The rushing of several...

After several very close but unsuccessful tries-at-goal from the field by Beattys, the Wesleyan half-back. the ball was gradually forced away from our goal, chiefly by good kicking of Austin. Hartley secured the ball in a scrimmage, and by a quick dash scored another touchdown from which no goal was kicked, but shortly after Austin received the ball from the quarter back and kicked a neat goal from the field...
