...Pennock '17, at right and left guard, stopped many plays through the centre of the line and opened up big holes for Johnson to gain through. The latter ran hard and nearly broke loose twice for touchdowns but was downed by the Brown colored halfback, Williams, who overtook him after he had got clear of the rest of the field. Johnson had two opportunities to score drop-kicks but both attempts failed...
...point of noticeable deficiency in the offense, however, was the deplorable lack of interference. Mahan was often impeded by the slowness of the shield of men in front of him, and at times he had to abandon his protection in order to elude tacklers from behind. Rollins, too, easily overtook his interference. The interference does not seem to rush with that ferocious charge, which marked the Harvard interference of last year, and often on Saturday a Crimson player instead of plunging into the opposing tackler, would merely try to ward him off from the play. A noticeable exception was Harte...

The latter rose to the occasion and exerted all his strength, running the last 100 yards in a phenomenal manner. Gamble and Haff of Michigan overtook Kelley 30 yards from the finish but were unable to catch Sawyer. Captain MacArthur of Cornell and Hough of Pennsylvania followed the Michigan men in at the finish...

Hughes is now in the Cambridge Hospital in a very serious condition...

Corbett's kick was blocked; Roberts picked up the ball and started for the goal line 30 yards away. Morrison overtook him, and the ball was on Harvard's 3-yard line. In this play, Roberts broke a bone in his ankle, and Cooke took his place. Amherst could not gain on three line plays and lost the ball on downs. Corbett punted out of danger to Amherst's 50-yard...
