...Yale's trick plays for a loss. Barnard bore the brunt of Yale's attack during the larger part of the game and though it was a severe task, did it commendably. Knowlton and Shea proved themselves to be effective tackles, both defensively and in carrying the ball. Putnam made a number of Harvard's gains outside of tackle and by keeping close to his interference was several times able to cover considerable distance around the end. Graydon played the same steady and reliable game which characterized his work last year and with proper assistance would have made even greater...
...five minutes after two the Yale eleven came onto the field followed by the Harvard team. Kernan won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. After a little preliminary practice Bowman kicked off, but the ball went out of bounds. On the second trial Putnam, who caught the ball behind the goal line, fell to his knees, but regained his feet and advanced to Harvard's 12-yard line before he was downed. In three downs the ball was advanced 5 yards and then Kernan punted to Metcalf who was downed in his tracks by Bowditch on Harvard...
...could satisfy all the requirements or come up to the standards set by the previous players. Among the men who had been substitutes on the team in former years were: Wright, Jones and Knowlton, tackles; Burgess, Clark and Matthews, ends; Daly, quarterback; and Meier, Stillman, Knowles, Hurley, and Putnam, backs. A gradual process of elimination finally left these men, together with King, A. Marshall, Mills, Shea, Bleakie, Hovey, Lyon, and a few others, as the players best suited for the vacant positions...
...Sugden nor Lyon has shown much ability; Force is a rather uncertain player, but one who may be relied upon perhaps more thoroughly than either of the other men. Right halfback has been a very hard position to decide and the competition has only recently narrowed to Hurley and Putnam. The latter has had the greater experience, but his fumbling is a great objection. Hurley is probably the quickest man on the squad and may usually be counted upon for good gains. Stillman's punting makes him valuable in case of injury to Kernan; his poor defensive work has prevented...
