...absence, J. L. Knox '98 and J. A. Sullivan '97 looked after the backs and the punting. Except for some work of Reid's after the baseball practice was over, the kicking was decidedly mediocre. Sawin and Hallowell have good form, but their punts lack distance. R. Lawrence, half-back on last year's Freshman team, was out yesterday for the first time this season. His kicking is not particularly good, but he runs well with the ball...
...first half, Burnett kicked off to the first who lost the ball on a fumble. After two or three gains the second lost the ball on downs, but Burnett's activity prevented the first from gaining. After an exchange of punts, Sawin caught the ball on his own thirty-yard line and, eluding the second eleven's ends, ran eighty yards for a touchdown. In the remainder of the half the first eleven again pushed the ball the length of the field by short rushes. During the next half the first eleven, with substitute backs, scored twice...
...minute halves were played, the first team lining-up against the second. The old fault of fumbling again marred the work of the back field, which was also handicapped by the absence of Daly. Ragged as was the interference at times, the first scored twice in the first half, owing to line-plunges by Kendall. Parker and Kendall were both able to gain through the second's line, but as both are running very high, they would be of little use against a strong line...
...real feature of the play in the second half, was Gierasch's running. Besides some clever work behind his interference, he scored a touchdown after catching a punt on the forty-five yard line. Ellis, whose weight and quickness have always made him a possible candidate for the line, was tried at tackle on the second. Waters and Donald spent a great deal of time coaching him, and when he learns how to apply his strength he will make a valuable...
...second half, Williams weakened to such an extent that the Harvard substitute team was able to score three times, Daly kicking one goal and Sawin two. By following the interference and by alert dodging, Gierasch ran around Chadwell for a touchdown from the forty yard line. Two minutes later he ran to the five yard line and aided by the strong interference of Fincke and Sawin went through the line for the fourth touchdown. In the last two minutes, Gierasch scored again from the thirty-five yard line. Time was called with the ball in Williams's possession...
