Pennsylvania scored on a 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...
...first fifteen minutes, and secured a lead of twelve points that the Sophomores could not overcome. During the rest of the game 1903 was on the defensive, and by the splendid punting of Stillman, prevented their opponents from scoring. The latter, by vigorous rushing with the tackles, often ran the ball well into the Freshman territory, but lost it by fumbling at critical times. The 1903 team was able to make few gains by rushing the ball. In the second half neither side scored a touchdown. Late in the half, however, Lovering kicked a pretty goal from the field from...
...quarterback, Hatch once made seven or eight yards. Gains were also frequently made through the line because the forwards, by starting before their opponents, usually succeeded in charging them back and opening up holes for the runner. Although the backs never supported the runner any too well, individually they often showed very good judgment in working their way through the line or in dodging around the ends. Lowrie, Livermore and Cook all made repeated gains. Considering that the day was poor and that the contest was class football, the work of 1900's eleven was very satisfactory...
...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 a strong wind at her back, 1901 failed to punt...
...Indians were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian centre, and soon sent Ellis across the line for a touchdown. Lawrence missed the goal. During the rest of the half, the ball changed hands often. Once Metoxen broke through Lawrence for 40-yards, but was downed by Daly. Many tricks were tried by both teams but few were successful...
