...secret football practice yesterday afternoon was very light, as Burr, Kersburg, Orr. Osborne and Wendell were given a day's rest. There was no scrimmage, and the time was chiefly devoted to work tending to make the team start quicker and more together. To this end all the men were given a long drill in starting with the ball. There was a short panting practice, Newhall doing the kicking, and the ends running down the field under the ball, but there was no tackling. A long signal drill followed in which practically all the plays were run through. Coach Reid...
...University football team defeated Dartmouth Saturday afternoon in the Stadium by the score of 22 to 9, in a game which showed up the possibilities of the new rules to excellent advantage. Orr made two touchdowns for the University eleven in the first half, the first on a 45-yard, gain on a forward pass, the second after recovering the ball on a 54-yard onside kick. Wendell also carried the ball over Dartmouth's goal line in the first half, but the touchdown was not allowed on account of a penalty for offside play, and Newhall was forced...
...followed the ball. In the first half with four substitutes in the line-up Harvard completely outplayed Dartmouth, showing a very powerful offense and a defense which prevented their opponents from making a touchdown with the ball in their possession on Harvard's seven-yard line. Of the ends Orr played by far the best game, although he, too, was slow in getting down the field under punts. His tackling was sure and hard, and his scoring of two touchdowns on long, open plays were the most brilliant features in the game. In the line Osborne was of great service...
...punted to McDevitt on Dartmouth's 29-yard line. After two short gains, one through the line and one on a forward pass, Dartmouth was set back to the 21-yard line for holding, recovering five yards on the next play, however, for Parker's interference with the centre. Orr downed the ball on the short punt which followed on the 44-yard line. On the next play Orr got the ball on a forward pass from Newhall, and, after dodging McDevitt in the backfield, made the first touchdown of the game, Osborne kicked the goal...
...forward pass to DeAngelis. Here Wendell secured the ball on a forward pass. Lincoln made five yards on an onside kick on which the ball went out of bounds. Newhall at once tried another onside kick, sending the ball over McDevitt's head. Osborne blocked off McDevitt, which enabled Orr to get the ball and carry it over the line for a touchdown. Osborne kicked the goal. The half closed immediately after the kick...
