After a few minutes Kendall made 10 yards on a double pass from Sawin, but was thrown for a loss on the next play, and Hallowell punted to the centre. McBride kicked poorly out of bounds on Harvard's 50-yard line. Ellis plunged through left tackle for first down and Kendall through right tackle for 2-yards, but Sawin lost on an end play...
...pretty dropkick from the 20-yard line. For Harvard, Stillman played an excellent game, punting well, and running low and hard. He kicked six out of seven goals. Hersey was a good ground gainer, and Graydon did well at guard, often breaking through and tackling the runner for a loss. Clarke played a low and hard game...
...backs really had very few chances to show what they could do. During the first half, for example, they did not have the ball for more than a third of the time. In the second half, they felt the loss of the regular quarterback, Daly, who was injured. The backs frequently weakened on the defensive, and the forwards, who were forced back, would often put them out of the play. On a slippery field and against heavier opponents, the line-men played too high. But they were not responsible for the poor judgement shown in the second half when, with...
...second half, Kendall returned the kick-off successfully, gaining twenty yards. On a trick formation, Campbell tackled Cuddy for a loss, but on the next down, a long pass gained thirty yards around Hallowell. Although Hapgood made two short gains, Brown was unable to get the necessary five yards, and on Sawin's punt, Campbell downed Pratt on Brown's fifteen-yard line. 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...
...four of the Harvard ends played a splendid game. As there was never any necessity for punting, they had little chance for individual work except on the kick-offs when Daly usually returned the kick. In every case the Amherst back was downed for a loss and often with such force that he dropped the ball. The Harvard backs on the other hand had no trouble in eluding the Amherst ends and forwards, and made long gains after catching the punts. Daly was clever as usual in this department of the game...
