...sorts which were used by the Brown eleven on the offense, combined with the quickness of the team in following the ball on all occasions, were the main causes of Harvard's low score. The University eleven secured its only touchdown shortly before the close of the first half after Brown had been penalized 15 yards for interference with Newhall's fair catch on the 50-yard line. A few minutes after the second half started Brown carried the ball over Harvard's goal line, thus being the second team which has scored on Harvard this fall. Five minutes before...
...whole the work of the University eleven last Saturday was not what it should have been, although at times, and especially in the first half, the team showed a semblance of the team play and rushing ability which characterized the Springfield game, and which was entirely lacking in the game with West Point. The linemen, who were rather slow in their work, tackled with some sureness in the close formations, but generally failed to stop the runner in the open field. On the ends Brown had a great advantage, for Kennard and Macdonald were too slow in getting down...
...backs Wendell played the best game, although he was ruled off the field by Umpire Burleigh for unnecessary roughness a few minutes after the opening of the second half. Mason, who played in Captain Foster's place at left halfback, was good on the defense, but, owing to the fact that, he has had little experience as a halfback, was rather weak on the offensive. Lockwood gained a great deal of ground but fumbled several times at critical moments. As in the case of Mason, he was very sure in his tackles, twice stopping Mayhew, the fastest Brown halfback, after...
With a few exceptions the forward pass worked well for both elevens whenever it was tried, but on the onside kick only once was successfully used. Newhall's work in running the University eleven was excellent, particularly in the second half, when he carried the ball into striking distance by the aid of Burr's repeated punts. Starr, who replaced Macdonald at right end in the second half, played a fast game and was better in every respect than either of the other men who played at end. Burr and Kersburg were the main reliance of the University eleven...
...second period of play was not so good as in the first, neither side being able to score, although the University team backs rushed the ball extremely well; Lockwood, in particular, who made two 20-yard gains in succession on end plays. The feature of the first half was Wendell's 92-yard run for a touchdown on the second kick-off, aided by splendid interference from Kersburg and Warren. The weather was too cold and raw for first class work. Captain Foster turned his ankle slightly, but will probably be all right in a day or two. Mason played...
