...Flaherty at quarterback gave signs of promise but seemed nervous, which was probably responsible for his using such a small number of plays. A more varied attack would undoubtedly have been more effective. He ran the team well, put life into the men, and in almost every case handled the ball cleanly. The back-field was rather erratic, at times too slow in starting, and at other times starting before the ball. They ran hard, though it was more through individual brilliancy then team work, that they made their gains. P. D. Smith, Corbett and Frothingham were the best ground...
Captain Fish won the toss and Harvard received the kick-off at the north end of the field. O'Flaherty ran in the kick-off 12 yards to the 27-yard line. Bates was offside on the first play, and Corbert punted to Bates's 50-yard line. G. G. Browne recovered the ball when Bates fumbled. Corbett failed to gain outside tackle, but P. D. Smith gained fourteen yards through centre. After two line plays, O'Flaherty tried a forward pass, but was tackled before he could get the ball away and fumbled, Keaney recovering the ball for Bates...
Bates kicked off to P. D. Smith, who made a sensational run of 50 yards through a broken field. The ball was brought back to Harvard's 10-yard line, however, as Browne was holding. Corbett punted on the first play to Lovely, who ran outside on Harvard's 54-yard line. Two plays gained five yards, McKay stopping the second one before it started. Keaney tried a drop-kick from the 50-yard line, the ball bounding over Harvard's goal line. The ball was put in play again on the 25-yard line and Corbett slipped by tackle...
...second half opened with R. C. Brown in place of G. G. Browne at right end, and Frothingham in place of Corbett at left half. McKay kicked off to the goal line and Cummings ran the ball back to the 18-yard line. Bates tried two double passes for a 5-yard gain. Keaney sent an onside kick outside on Bates's 39-yard line. Frothingham gained five yards. Huntington replaced Houston. Smith took the ball in the next six plays and was sent over the line directly between the goal posts. McKay missed an easy goal. Before the next...
...scrimmage yesterday was commenced with several kick-offs in order to give the first team an opportunity to run them in; it was the first line-up for a kick-off-this season. The ball alternated between the two teams, with the advantage slightly favoring the first. O'Flaherty ran the University team well, making a brilliant 20-yard run after catching a punt. However, after a 13-minute scrimmage, neither side had scored and the substitutes went in against the second substitutes in a short scrimmage...
