...brace, and a punting duel resulted between Grant and Minot, who had taken Cutler's place. The last three minutes of play furnished the sensation of the game. After the Freshmen had received the ball on a punt on their own ten-yard line, Minot made a long forward pass to Crowley, who carried the ball to Dean's 15-yard line. Another forward pass was tried, and Minot recovered the ball, on the four-yard line. On the next play Minot carried it over the line...
...outplayed, and did not play the ever-ready, quick game that the Indians did. Their playing was too crude to win, and, compared to the Indians, the team as a whole was woefully undeveloped. The speed of the Indian backs and the manner with which they handled the forward pass made Harvard seem slow and crude in comparison. Carlisle had the science of interference down to perfection and their blocking off of Bird and Macdonald time and again was one cause of their frequent long runs around the ends...
Harvard's main weakness lay in their inability to tackle hard and effectively, and in their lack of a suitable defense for the Indians' forward pass and criss-cross, double-pass plays, which were worked repeatedly for long gains. Both teams suffered severely from penalties, and in one instance Harvard lost half the distance to the goal line, amounting to 30 yards, when Peirce was put out of the game by Umpire Edwards for charging into two Indians who were pulling Starr toward his own goal after the ball had been downed...
...yard line, but were penalized 15 yards for holding. Newhall fumbled Mr. Pleasant's punt on the 50-yard line and from there the Indians carried the ball straight down the field. Payne made a 5-yard gain around right end and after two more short gains, Mt. Pleasant passed forward. The ball was fumbled, but recovered on Harvard's 25-yard mark. Another forward pass followed to Exendine, who was downed on the 4-yard line. Hauser made a touchdown through guard in the next play, and Mt. Pleasant kicked the goal...
Hauser's kickoff went over the goal line and Burr punted out to Hendricks, who ran to Harvard's 47-yard line. A failure to gain was followed by a forward pass which hit the ground. After the resulting penalty, punts were exchanged, and the Indians had the ball on their 50-yard line. Payne gained 10 yards and Mt. Pleasant passed forward to Gardner. After Grant had spoiled an end play, Hauser tried for a field goal but failed...
