...every department of straight football, with the possible exception of punting, Brown was distinctly outclassed in Saturday's game, some cleverly worked trick plays alone preventing Harvard from running up a much larger score. None of the guards back formations or mass plays which Brown tried against the line were able to gain...
Harvard used straight football tactics throughout the game. After the first ten minutes of play had proved that Brown has the best pair of ends which the team has met this season, the unsuccessful interference plays were given up for a steady battering of Brown's line.

Daly then changed his tactics, and, after ten plays, alternating centre plunges and mass plays on tackle, Kendall was sent across for a touchdown. Sawin kicked an easy goal. The same line bucking game was tried again, with the result...

Richardson gained forty-five yards around Hallowell before he was downed by Ellis. After more punting, Harvard obtained possession of the ball, and, by vigorous plunges at centre advanced it until Ellis finally carried it across the line. The touchdown was not allowed, however, because of holding in the line...
