...line was a stone wall on the defence; but offensive drive was lacking. The forwards failed to open holes for the backfield, and Harvard lost. Of course the team was placed at a disadvantage by early injuries to Potter and Gardiner, and by the lack of a first-class punter, but even with these handicaps it would have won, had the offence had the power to make the last punch...
