...tackling of the Southern eleven was poor and uncertain, that of the University was always hard and sure. At the end of the first quarter, Kinsolving received a pretty forward pass from Thurman and ran 30 yards, but Minot was waiting for him and stopped him short. The line also played well and frequently broke through and tackled the Virginia backs before they were started. W. H. Wheeler '18 played a particularly strong game and was an important factor in stopping all plays through his side of the line. H. Coolidge '19, as substitute end, showed up well...

All failed. But the Red and White's great failing was poor defensive diagnosis and wretched tackling. Harvard's backfield is extraordinary, but just at present the line between ends is much better on attack than on defence. The Crimson backs had a busy afternoon on secondary...
...good line bucks together with a long, well-executed forward pass had brought the ball to Tech's 5-yard line. The attempt to kick a goal failed, the ball hitting the goal post. The Freshmen had several other chances to score, especially in the first half, but a poor choice of plays together with faulty interference and the stiffening of the Tech line at the crucial moment prevented further touchdowns...
