...most reliable and effective punter on the team. He places his kicks and works well with the ends. Reid, however, has shown steady improvement in this department of the game, and Sawin, who has fallen off, however, since the middle of the season, can be called on to punt in emergencies. The principal weakness of the team at present is fumbling kicks--a weakness which gave the Indians their touchdown. Sawin, who is strong on catching punts, plays in the backfield with Daly, and together they are sure to clip off many of Pennsylvania's kicks...
...forced back, would often put them out of the play. On a slippery field and against heavier opponents, the line-men played too high. But they were not responsible for the poor judgement shown in the second half when, with a strong wind at her back, 1901 failed to punt...
...yard line on a fake kick, and by successful line-plunges, carried it to the five yard line. Here Carlisle held for two downs when Daly scored on a clever criss-cross, and Lawrence kicked the goal. Soon after the kick-off the Indians were forced to punt but Ellis blocked the kick and fell on the ball. Daly, with Donald back, then attacked the Indian centre, and soon sent Ellis across the line for a touchdown. Lawrence missed the goal. During the rest of the half, the ball changed hands often. Once Metoxen broke through Lawrence for 40-yards...
...best of it, but were unable to score again, although Stillman barely missed a goal from the field. In the second half, St. Mark's gained repeatedly around Harvard's left end. On the five yard line, however, the Freshmen obtained possession of the ball on downs, and Stillman punted well out of danger. A moment later St. Mark's missed a goal from the field. The ball was brought out to the fifteen-yard line and Stillman made a long punt, but the Freshmen forwards were slow in getting down the field, and King for St. Mark's succeeded...
...kick-off successfully, gaining twenty yards. On a trick formation, Campbell tackled Cuddy for a loss, but on the next down, a long pass gained thirty yards around Hallowell. Although Hapgood made two short gains, Brown was unable to get the necessary five yards, and on Sawin's punt, Campbell downed Pratt on Brown's fifteen-yard line. Richardson gained forty-five yards around Hallowell before he was downed by Ellis. After more punting, Harvard obtained possession of the ball, and, by vigorous plunges at centre advanced it until Ellis finally carried it across the line. The touchdown...
