...kick-off, fumbled, the University team recovering on the 29-yard line. But attempts to make the distance through the line were unsuccessful, and on the fourth down Robinson tried a field goal which failed. Again, a few minutes later, C. A. Coolidge, Jr., '17, recovered Drummy's fumbled punt on the Tufts 27-yard line. Two line plays netted only five yards, so Robinson dropped back for a kick, which this time went squarely between the bars. Frequent fumbles during the remainder of the quarter re- sulted in constantly changing possession of the ball, but neither side could gain...
...last quarter, the big pass of the game was made, Drummy passing the ball to Sanborn, who passed it laterally to Wescott, the Tufts leader carrying it to the 1-yard line, from which position Doane dove over the line for the touchdown. Mitchell received the ball on the punt out, and Morrison kicked the goal, making the score 7 to 3. Although the University had the ball during the greater part of the remainder of the game, intercepted forward passes and the failure of others prevented a score, the whistle ending the game with the ball in the University...
...first score came soon after the opening of the scrimmage, when W. F. Robinson '18, after a fair catch on a short punt from the seconds, put over a beautiful field goal from placement from the 25-yard line. A few minutes later H. C. Flower '19 made the second score for the first team, carrying the ball over from the 15-yard line for a touchdown, while Robinson kicked the goal...
When the ball was again put in scrimmage, an exchange of punts and a fumble left the ball in the possession of the second team on their own 5-yard line. An attempt to punt out of danger resulted in gaining only 15 yards for the scrubs, and the University eleven had no difficulty in opening a hole through which T. C. Thacher, Jr., '18, plowed his way to a touchdown, Robinson again kicking the goal. After this score the ball was put in scrimmage again near the middle of the field. Twice the University eleven tried line plays...
...Harvard in the past two seasons made a great deal of the "threat game" from kick formation, Mahan lying back. Mahan threatened three things, two of which he could do well and one brilliantly--punt, forward pass and run. No eleven could be certain what was to happen, and Mahan made the most of the doubtful state of mind. Harvard's interference in the case of a run would pile the tackle all over himself, knock the end galley west and generally take care of the back who was coming up to relieve the two over-pressed defenders...
