Although outplayed at first, Harvard soon showed complete superiority in team play, fast skating, and body-checking. The men kept their positions well, and never failed to follow back quickly after losing the puck. Callaway and Pell did the most brilliant playing...
...heavy men. Callaway and Wilder, the most experienced members of the team, play fast aggressive games and can be depended upon at critical moments. The other two forwards are effective in body-checking and team work, but Pell is inclined to be slow in following back after losing the puck.

The forwards showed improvement in keeping their positions, but, with the exception of Callaway, still failed to follow back after losing the puck. Their inaccuracy in shooting was also responsible for the loss of many chances to score. The team work, however, was good, many excellent passes being made...
