...much to any unusual weakness in the visiting eleven as to the power and speed of the Yale backfield. The individual playing of the Yale line was remarkable and often brilliant, but lacked unity. Philbin, in the latter part of the second half, caught a punt on his own 35-yard line, and, with tremendous speed, dodged through the whole Brown team and ran 75 yards for a touchdown...
...ability. Cooney, at centre, is a good passer, but his weight makes him slow. Howe, the final choice for quarterback, has shown good judgment in his choice of plays all through the season. His playing, however, has been marred by fumbling and inability to handle the ball accurately on punts. The Yale backfield is undoubtedly one of the best in the country. The men are all fast and powerful runners, hit the line with terrific force, and, when once started are hard to stop.

When at last they were held for downs on 1912's 40-yard line, they stole the ball on the next play and ran the length of the field for a touchdown, but this was not allowed and the Sophomores were forced to kick.

Melican recovered Kelley's punt on Harvard's 3-yard line and Bartlett was sent over for a touchdown. Dutton missed a difficult goal. Soon after the kick-off, Kelley punted to Gardner, who, by good dodging, ran it back 20 yards to his own 35-yard line. On twelve plays...
...interchange of punts followed the kick-off in the second half. Melican then recovered Kelley's punt on Harvard's 3-yard line. Bartlett scored a touchdown on the second play, and Dutton kicked an easy goal. Lewis was slightly injured and Marsh took his place. After two more exchanges of punts, Sibley recovered Kelley's punt on Harvard's 25-yard line. Wilson tried a field goal, which failed. Felton kicked from Harvard's 25-yard line. Lingard blocked Kelley's punt, which Hollister recovered and ran 20 yards to Worcester's 26-yard line. An onside kick...
