...enough to prevent it. He started the contest with a run in from the kick-off of 35 yards and played to the end a brilliant and hard game. Until the last moments of the first period the game was nip and tuck, there being a continual exchange of punts in which Felton had a slight advantage over Henry. Then Hardwick received a punt on his 25-yard line and ran it in 15 yards; Wendell rushed 8 yards; Hardwick gained 20 yards around left end; Wendell and Brickley made 8 yards on short charges; and then Brickley kicked...
...second or Freshman teams have occurred daily. Yesterday the practice was light but long between teams A and B. Every time teak A came within the 30-Yard line, Brickley tried a field goal. He made three out of six attempts. Felton was placed on team B to punt while Bradlee kicked for team A. Line-ups for Today. The teams will line up as follows: HARVARD. AMHERST. Felton, l.e. r.e., Whitten Storer, l.t. r.t., Konold Pennock, l.g. r.g., Lind Parmenter, c. c., Chamberlain Trumbull, r.g. l.g., C.

...again, this time to Hardwick on the 15-yard line, and he imitated Wendell for 20 yards. The latter then rushed 10 yards for first down placing the ball on his 45-yard line.

...second quarter began with a long punt from McCabe to Hardwick in the centre of the field, and, with a 30-yard run in which he dodged a half-dozen tacklers, the latter placed the ball on the 20-yard line. It looked like another score, but Holy Cross held on the 2-yard line and punted out. Brickley tried a goal from the 30-yard line on a fair catch but the ball went wide. Holy Cross scrimmaged from her 20-yard line, but, as O'Brien was thrown for a loss of 10 yards, a punt was needed...
...score for the seconds was made later on by Hardwick who was used all of the afternoon to do their punting, but who did not go into the scrimmage. From the seconds' 45-yard line, he signalled for a punt; the pass came low, however, and he had no opportunity to kick. Instead, he ran with the ball making his way through all University team tacklers for 55 yards and a touchdown. Taking this fact into consideration, that the run was made against the first team and not with it, it was unusually brilliant. Priest kicked the goal, tying...
