...scoring was done in the third quarter but Hill had a little the advantage, twice rushing the ball 40 yards without being stopped. The fourth quarter opened with an attempted goal from placement by Yates, which failed. After the Freshmen had returned the ball to midfield, Wilcox broke loose for a 50-yard end run which resulted in a touchdown. Sweetser again failed to kick the goal. Hill, however, came back hard, and after taking the ball to Harvard's 15-yard line, scored on another forward pass, Yates to Moseley...
...Philadelphia Saturday by the score of 6 to 0. Both teams displayed a stubborn defensive power which the unvaried line-plunging tactics of the opposing eleven could not penetrate.

Brickley's drop-kicks were both from the 15-yard line and were protected by a perfect defence; his goal from placement after Gardner's fair catch was the feature of the game. Seldom does one see a 47-yard placement kick pass squarely over the cross bar; and this score was the one which practically won the game. Not only were Brickley's goals unusual, but Felton's punts were also...
