...With Devens and Harper filling in at the other two positions the Crimson would have practically the best running backfield it could assemble. Putnam, Devens and Mays all are experts on the lateral pass and end runs while Devens and Harper could be called upon for thrusts at the line and off-tackle. The Wood-Putnam-Devens-Harper combination, however, should not be neglected. In all probability this quartet will get a thorough test against the Alligators with the remote idea of starting against Michigan the following week. At the present time the foursome made up of the two Sophomores...
...mace having been acquired two years ago. Dr. Barbour and Chancellor Arnold Buffum Chace came next. Close behind was Dr. Abbott Lawrence Lowell, for without a Harvard President present, no Brown President has ever taken office. Under the U. S. and Rhode Island flags, further back in the line, strode Governor Norman Stanley Case (Brown 1908) surrounded by his staff. Followed many a statesman, jurist and nearly three-score college presidents. There were Cornell's Farrand, Yale's Angell, Union's Day, Rhode Island's Alger ; also Charles Evans Hughes (Brown 1881), Mr. Rockefeller...
...half, succumb to the wizardry of Masters running in the third period and then wilt miserably under the final onslaughts of the Hanover forces. In the first quarter Marsters' work brought the ball from his team's 37-yard stripe, where he received a punt, to the 4-yard line, whence Sutton went over for the score. The Crimson reversed the order of things in the second period. B. Ticknor, after catching a Green dropkick, advanced to Harvard's 40-yard line; Potter hurled a long forward to O'Connell and a 15-yard penalty put the ball in position...
Once again in the third stanza did the Harvard combination get inside the Green 10-yard line, but the attack stalled. From this point on Dartmouth and Marsters were supreme, except for one determined Crimson stand, beneath its own goal posts. The ball went to Harvard on downs. Potter kicked out 25 yards, and on the next play Marsters outran the field for a score. Coach Horween's players faded from the picture as the Indians, always on the attack well in enemy territory, riddled the Crimson, defense for there more touch downs...
Those are the simple facts of the story, but the clash proved that Dartmouth belongs among the elite and that Harvard has far from a good team. The game was won and lost in the forward lines. The Crimson rush line gave a dismal exhibition. On the defense great holes, through which the Dartmouth interference and ball carriers paraded, were blasted in it by the rugged Green charges. It was the line's failure to make openings which sealed the doom of the Harvard running attack and the Crimson passers were hurried by the India linemen sifting through the porous...
