...Lyon has shown much ability; Force is a rather uncertain player, but one who may be relied upon perhaps more thoroughly than either of the other men. Right halfback has been a very hard position to decide and the competition has only recently narrowed to Hurley and Putnam. The latter has had the greater experience, but his fumbling is a great objection. Hurley is probably the quickest man on the squad and may usually be counted upon for good gains. Stillman's punting makes him valuable in case of injury to Kernan; his poor defensive work has prevented him from...
...Sophomores, on the other hand, met the Freshman attack with a good charge, and were often successful in throwing the opposing backs for a loss. The work of Metcalf of the Freshmen, and Dall of the Sophomores, was conspicuously good; the former for his excellent punting, and the latter for his fast end running...
...however, altogether of a praiseworthy nature. Kernan came to the rescue several times when brilliant work was needed, and by his punting and fine running was largely responsible for the successful outcome of the game. His support to Shea, however, was misdirected and accounted partly for the latter's poor showing in stopping Dartmouth's plays. Barnard was far from a tower of strength and except for preventing his opponent from doing much harm, did little that directly influenced the final result. Mills made some much-needed gains, but was slow on the defense. Whitwell played considerably better than...
...within 5 yards of the center or the field, Mills again broke through the line. He was downed on Dartmouth's 23-yard line after having made a gain of 27 yards. Graydon and Knowlton on formation plays brought the ball to the 1 yard line and the latter went through right tackle for a touchdown. Barnard missed the goal and left the score: Harvard, 5; Dartmouth, 0. The remainder of the half contained many breaches of the rules and, in the penalties that followed, Harvard suffered the more severely. The half ended with an unsuccessful quarterback kick by Dartmouth...
...distance of the first team's goal. Kernan and Putnam were the only men who could make any advances for the University eleven. One of the two touchdowns was made on a 35 yard run by Putnam, and the other on a run of 30 yards by Kernan. The latter also made a 50 yard run which took the ball to the 5 yard line. The effort was of little use, however, for the second team held firm and was given the ball on downs. The lineups of the two teams were: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Mills, l.e. r.e., Clothier...
