...first five minutes of play. In that time, by means of the smashing attack which has characterized the University backfield in the last few games, the ball was advanced from Harvard's 45-yard line to Brown's 15-yard line. The ball went to Brown on a forward pass but Huntington recovered Tenney's fumble on the next play and it took just three rushes for Wendell to pierce Brown's line for the first touchdown. Fisher kicked an easy goal. Two more touchdowns, a drop-kick by Milholland and one goal from touchdown completed Harvard's scoring...
Brown's only score came after a truly brilliant series of plays in the second period. Starting at the middle of the field, Sprackling passed to Ashbaugh close to the sidelines for a gain of 20 yards. The next forward pass was even more spectacular. After two vain attempts to gain through the line. Sprackling shot the ball at an angle to the left and directly into the hands of Adams, who was running at top speed as he caught the ball. Although he made the catch on the 16-yard line, he had crossed the 5-yard mark before...

The ball was given to the second team on the substitutes' 25-yard line, whence Saltonstall missed a try at a drop-kick. At this point the substitutes seemed to brace and, starting on their own 25-yard line, in-seven rushes advanced the ball the remaining distance across their opponents' goal-line. Pierce contributed most of the ground gaining by a remarkable exhibition...
...Freshman team was put through a hard drill yesterday afternoon, over an hour being spent in punting, trying formations for the forward pass, and individual instruction in line-breaking. After this there followed a 40-minutes scrimmage between the first and second teams in which the first scored four times. Then the substitutes were sent in against the second team, but in a session of hard scrimmage were unable to score...
