...plays, gaining ground around the ends by good interference. Sawin, at left half, made most of the touchdowns scored by the first eleven. He also out-punted R. Lawrence of the second, and showed much of his old skill in running with the ball. Burnett had frequent chances to kick goals from the field, but owing to the slippery ball succeeded only once. One of his kicks, however, from the fifty-seven yard line, went far above the cross-bar, but outside the post by a few feet. Reid played fullback for a short time, but wrenched his leg slightly...
...general expectations and rolled up a good score against opponents of great reputation for strength. On the offensive Harvard was much stronger than the Indians, and was rarely held for downs. The defense, as was expected, kept the ball so far from the goal line that Hudson could not kick a goal from the field until the presence of substitutes weakened the Harvard line which finally gave way before the furious attacks of the Indians. Hudson then rushed the ball down into Harvard's territory and made a graceful drop-kick from the 35 yard line...
Succeeding the next kick-off, both sides fumbled continually. After an exchange of kicks to Harvard's favor and an off-side play by Carlisle, Ellis rushed the ball to the Indian's 20-yard line on a fake kick, and by successful line-plunges, carried it to the five yard line. Here Carlisle held for two downs when Daly scored on a clever criss-cross, and Lawrence kicked the goal. Soon after the kick-off the Indians were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian...
...beginning of the second half, Daly returned Pierce's kick-off and Ellis secured the ball on a fumble. On the next exchange of punts Daly made a fair catch on the 47 yard line. Although Burnett missed this try at goal, he kicked one a minute later from the 37 yard line. Offside play by Harvard gave the ball to Carlisle, who rushed it to the 40 yard line, where Hudson missed a difficult goal. More punting followed in Hallowell's favor, until he finally secured the ball on a fumble. This enabled Kendall to score, and Daly kicked...
...fifteen and five-minute halves played, the first eleven scored three times, and the second once. The first eleven started to play a kicking game, and, as the second could not rush the ball back, soon carried it down the field for a touchdown. The 'Varsity scored one more touchdown soon after on brilliant running by Gierasch. Poor interference on the kick-off failed to carry the ball down the field. Strong defensive play by the second held the first for downs, but the guards-back formation could not gain. Exchanges of punts followed, and, one of Warren's kicks...
