...Harvard centre trio divided honors with their opponents, except for Grant, for whom Brusse was no match. Grant was, as usual, one of the first men down under punts. He succeeded in blocking one of Glaze's attempted goals from placement and in cutting off a fake forward pass. Gilder, who played during most of the game at quarterback, after Newhall was injured, covered his backfield position fairly well, but used very poor judgment in his choice of plays, and did not run the team with the snap which characterized Newhall's playing. Wendell was the life of the Harvard...
...yard line, where Rand recovered a fumble. Newhall's onside kick was recovered by Bird on the 15-yard line, and it looked as if Har- vard was good for a touchdown at the very start. Five yards were gained in three plays and then a forward pass was made almost into Bird's hands, but he missed it on the goal line. Ingersoll punted and, aided by a 33-yard run by Apollonio, the ball was again brought within striking distance of Dartmouth's goal. But it was lost on a forward pass, and, after a few plays, Ingersoll...
Just before Dartmouth's final tally, Peirce, Grant and Apollonio worked a very pretty play. Peirce and Grant blocked a fake forward pass and Peirce ran eight yards down the field before being tackled. As he fell he passed back to Apollonio, who ran 10 yards further before he was downed. Immediately after this play Lockwood, who had replaced Rand, lost 12 yards on an end play, and then Wendell punted. Three Dartmouth men broke through simultaneously and blocked the kick. Tobin picked it up and ran 30 yards for the last touchdown of the game...
...last minute of the first half, Harvard had the ball on Yale's seven-yard line. A delayed pass from Pope to Minot was tried but it fell short, and neither Minot nor any other player touched the ball. On the first bounce Hopkins, Yale's quarterback, got the ball and ran 100 yards for a touchdown. Pope's pass was distinctly forward, and, as no man touched it before it struck the ground, Harvard should have retained possession of the ball and been penalized 15 yards, according to the rules...
...chief reason for Harvard's excellent showing was an improvement in team work. Individually, the team is very strong, but until Saturday team work had been lacking. Yale did its best work on line plays. They failed to make a single successful forward pass, but the team work was well nigh perfect. Captain Kilpatrick at left halfback and Mersereau at right tackle were in every play for Yale and, together with Hopkins, were the stars of the team...
