...second half, Brown recovered a punt on Harvard's 20-yard line, and Greenwood tried a dropkick, which failed, the ball going to Harvard on its own 15-yard line. Frothingham made a long run around right end to the centre of the field, but an onside kick gave the ball to Brown on its own 25-yard line. Brown fumbled on the next play and Knapp recovered the ball for Harvard on Brown's 5-yard line, whence Pierce scored. Frothingham kicked the goal. The Freshmen scored their second touchdown by 75 yards of straight rushing. Pierce made...
...remark made by a man of wide football experience after Saturday's game, "That is the best Harvard team I ever saw"? There is no denying the fact that the exhibition of all around football displayed by the University team against Carlisle was noticeably better with the exception of kicking and handing punts than that of any Harvard team as far back as the present board can recall. The most conspicuous element and the most gratifying was the ample evidence of strategic football brains and it was quite as much a triumph for the coaching staff as for the players...

In the game last year, there was a bewildering array of forward passes, fake kicks and onside kicks in their offence and they raced from one part of the field to the other...
...Freshmen received the kick-off and ran the ball back to the 45-yard line. On two tackle plays Campbell and Frothingham each made fifteen yards. On a successful onside kick the ball was advanced to the 20-yard line. After a series of line plays Winston made a touchdown, and Frothingham kicked the goal. The University team then received the kick-off, and White and Corbett went the length of the field for the second touchdown...
