...third period Davis scored after Exeter had carried the ball straight down the field for 50 yards without a stop. Welmer failed to kick the goal, and Harvard still led, 10 to 9. Then Captain Kempton of Exeter, guarded by perfect interference, caught a punt and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. From that point Exeter was the master, and scored once again on a forward pass from Davis to Braman...
...brightest developments of the day was the discovery of an able quarterback in the person of Robinson, who replaced Willcox after the latter had again displayed his awkwardness in receiving punts. This seems to be an insuperable fault with Willcox, but his falling made way for the debut of a candidate who promises well. The playing of Robinson was not a surprice to those who have watched his work throughout the last week, and many had expected him to drive the team with a firm grip, as he did. He chose his plays with a clever judgment, caught every punt...
...Saturday afternoon by the score of 20 to 0, scoring all three touchdowns in the first period. Worcester's plunging game swept the Freshman line off their feet, and Kelley crossed the goal-line a few minutes after the start. The Freshmen received next, and were forced to punt. Kelley caught the ball in midfield and carried it across for the second touchdown. A few minutes later Kelley and Larkin executed a forward pass that went over the line for the third score...
...Freshman line could not hold. 1919 only threatened once, when Flower's 47-yard run put the ball in Worcester's territory; but the opposing linesmen broke through on the next two plays and tackled the backs for eight and two-yard losses, and Felton was forced to punt. The game was marred by frequent injuries on both sides. Of the Freshman team Coolidge broke his leg, Canfield broke a bone in his ankle, and Flower had a muscle torn in his left thigh...
...lifting a perfect drop-kick from the 50-yard line, and on another occasion, when the seconds had lost the ball on the University's 8-yard line after a sensational march down the field, he put his team completely out of danger by booting a 60-yard punt. Robinson, who was given a try-out at quarter, added to the feature with a drop-kick from the 45-yard line. Immediately after this last score, the University was given the ball on the second's 30-yard line and rushed it over for a touchdown, Wiggin making the tally...
