...first half was all Harvard. Showing a determination and a spirited ground gaining ability seldom equalled in recent University gridiron history, the renovated eleven Coach Horween sent on the field completely outplayed its opponents and emerged at half time with a 14 point lead. Powerful line bucks by Miller alternated with shifty running by Putnam and French accounted for most of the advances. On the defense the University linemen led by a fast, fighting pivot in the person of Gamache were equally effective. Holy Cross succeeded in penetrating this alert, smashing defense for few gains and were never...
...flashy playing of Putnam who was given the quarterback assignment over Stafford on the eve of the game. Putnam used excellent judgement in handling his assortment of straight bucks, deceptive plays, and short passes, and also proved a big factor in the running strength of the Crimson quartet. Miller also played a bang up game on both offence and defense and it was after his withdrawal in the third quarter on account of injury that the efforts of the University team became ineffectual in stemming the tide of Purple victory...
Holy Cross kicked off to open the game and after a couple of rushes by Miller and French, an exchange of punts took place which left the ball in Crimson possession on the 40-yard line. Putnam then pulled the first of his twisting, slippery runs for ten yards, and a pass from French to Putnam added 20 more. Harvard was now on the Crusader's 27-yard line but could get no farther.

A Crimson offence ended in a fumble, and a few moments later Pratt and Kilgour broke through and blocked a kick which Pratt recovered on the two-yard line. Miller drove with terrific power into the middle of two lines heaped in the mass and succeeded in moving the obstruction enough for the touchdown. Sayles again booted the goal, ending the scoring for the first half...
...Saltonstall substituted for Robinson. For several minutes the teams battled back and forth about evenly, with Holy Cross showing signs of a dangerous pass. Ryan finally completed one to Lowery which enabled the latter to weave his way through the field for a touchdown. Another pass added the point. Miller caught the succeeding kick-off and was injured on the play and replaced by French. With Miller gone the Crimson offence had little to show with the exception of a few good runs by French and Putnam...
