...game. No radical changes were made but several points which have occasioned discussion after the big games of previous years were definitely settled. Hereafter a free kick hitting the goal posts and bounding back onto the field of play automatically becomes a touchback just as if after an ordinary punt...
Both games were hotly contested, the Seniors seeming to have the advantage over the Juniors until a blocked punt in the fourth period brought the ball near their goal from where H. Francke '15 rushed it over for the only score of the game. Milholland '14 at quarterback played the best individual game for the Seniors...
...first six games, 170 points were scored as against 16 by opponents; Williams made a field goal, while Holy Cross gained a touchdown on a muffed punt, and Cornell another by straight plunging against a wholly substitute eleven. The totals to date, including the Princeton and Brown games are: Harvard, 210; opponents, 16.

The contrast with Yale is striking, the totals in her case being: Yale, 121; opponents, 19. Further statistical examination...

The shift of Hardwick from back to end merely follows out a suggestion from last year's line-up, in which he played offensive end on punt formations. Of course, it is late in the season to rearrange players, but Coach Haughton has made late changes before and his judgment may be depended on. Experience has shown that. The shake-up will be watched with interest, particularly in the Brown game, if it lasts till then...
