...held in the Satdium this fall. The elevens were so evenly matched in the first half that the University team resorted mainly to the old style game, but was unable to break through the Brown line for the required ten yards. Brown tried many end runs with Dennie or Mayhew carrying the ball, but except for the latter's long runs, they were unable to gain consistently. As a result, punting was frequent on both sides, and the ball was almost always in Brown's half of the field owing to Burr's slight superiority over Dennie. There...
Harvard started the game with a new man, Browne, at left end, and, although Mayhew made several long runs around his end, Browne acquitted himself well. At left tackle Burr played a hard game, but both he and Fish had two excellent men opposed to them and had all they could do to hold their own. Burr got off some beautiful punts, but many of them were almost blocked. Fish, as usual, played a better offensive than defensive game. Harvard's three centre men were in every line play and as a rule opened up big holes for Apollonio. Grant...
...Mayhew's offensive work in end running was remarkable, and by his speed and clever dodging he gained about 100 yards for his team: Dennie also ran well and put lots of snap into his team. He had remarkable control over his punts, and the low, straight spirals which he sent to the backfield were very difficult either to judge or catch...
Smith kicked off for Brown and Burr-made a return punt. More punts followed, interspersed with runs by Mayhew and Newhall. Finally Burr's long kicks began to tell and the ball was confined to Brown's territory. Soon, Harvard secured the ball on Brown's 41-yard line and Rand gained 15 yards through left tackle on the first play. Apollonio followed with 17 more through right tackle and three more short gains put the ball on Brown's 2-yard line, where the latter held. They then carried the ball down to Harvard's 13-yard line before...
...second half, Burr's first kick-off was called back for offside play, and by means of long runs by Mayhew and Dennie under good interference, the ball was brought back to Harvard's 50-yard line, from where Dennie punted to Newhall. Two punts of Burr's sent the ball over Brown's goal line. Dennie made a beautiful 60-yard puntout, after which Harvard slowly worked the ball back, to lose it on a forward pass on Brown's 9-yard line. After this came Harvard's fine exhibition of holding and Brown's touchdown...
