...through interference and is always at the right spot. Bull has been showing up well as an end, tackling fiercely and running hard and well, though showing greenness and tackling too high. Graydon tackles well but is nursing an injury, and Lewis, though first-rate on following the ball, often overruns his man and misses tackles...
...kick-off, Harvard's interference was a little slow in forming and the runners either ran alone or out-ran what little interference there was. Reid out-classed Willing at punting, often gaining 20 and 30 yards in the return of punts. In kicking Harvard's line held firmly and the ball was never in danger of being blocked. Lawrence did brilliant work in kicking goals from touchdowns and though six of the goals were against a stiff breeze, he succeeded in kicking eight out of nine. Lawrence, Peyton, Talbot and Brayton made long gains through Pennsylvania's centre...

Dibblee made many good gains, and exhibited more forcibly than ever his capabilities for dodging when he gained ten yards after he had virtually been downed. Sawin's work was fair but to some extent lacked head-work; he often failed to run for openings which would have netted larger gains...
