Minot, in the second half, playing his first game on the University team, as well as his first scrimmage this year, put life into the backfield. He was fast, starting too quickly at times, hit the line very hard, and kept his feet well. His onside kicking was very good, all of the kicks being placed accurately. In the line the men failed to make holes for the backs, Williams stopping a number of line plays without gain. The whole line was a bit slow and no one followed the ball. The ends had the same difficulty, though their tackling...
...which was declared illegal. Stevens punted, but Houston blocked the kick and Stevens recovered it outside on his own 32-yard line. An exchange of kicks followed, Forster recovered an onside kick. Harvard had the ball on Williams's 32-yard line, a forward pass to G. G. Browne hit the ground and Harvard was penalized fifteen yards. Then followed another exchange of kicks, on which Harvard gained; four rushes put the ball on Williams's 40-yard line and O'Flaherty tried another forward pass which went straight into the arms of J. Brooks. On the next play Lewis...
...Yale. Hicks pitched the entire game for Harvard. For the first four innings he was working well; in fact, in the fourth he struck cut three of Yale's best batters in succession. The fifth, however, proved his undoing. A single, an error, another single, and a two-base hit followed in rarid succession, giving Yale three runs. Yale added one more to the score in the seventh by means of a base on balls, a stolen base an error, and a scratch hit. The University team made seven hits off Van Vleck and Merritt, but they were spread over...
...first. Murphy let the ball get by him and Harvey took an extra base. Currier advanced him to third, but was out at first himself. Simons met the ball squarely only to send it straight into Murphy's hands for the third out. For the next few innings the hits were wasted for either they came too late or the men were out trying to steal second. Lanigan opened the sixth with a clean hit to centre and Harvey's out, Logan to Jefferson, put him on second. Currier, however, hit a liner to Cushman from which a double play...
Yale was unable to make any headway until the fifth, when, with one out, Corey sent up a Texas leaguer back of shortstop. Cushman bunted for a sacrifice and was safe at first on Briggs's error. With men on first and second, Van Vieck hit to left field, scoring Corey and putting. Cushman on second. Philbin then clinched the game by a two-bagger that brought in two runs. Fels and Murphy were unable to maintain the rally and Philbin was left on third. In the seventh Yale scored again. Cushman drew a pass and stole second. Van Vleck...
