Pennsylvania ran off the plays with great speed and was quick to take advantage of Harvard's mistakes. The team was not well enough drilled to make effective the new formations which it tried...
Individually Graydon, Cutts and Bowditch alone played with their usual effectiveness. Graydon started promptly, hit the line hard and kept his feet well. He ran cleverly and picked openings to advantage. On the defense he backed up the line and tackled low. Cutts had no difficulty in opening holes when called upon, and carried the ball with strength and intelligence. He was quicker in starting and kept his feet longer than usually.

Here Graydon broke through the line and made 30 yards, helped along by the entire team. Cutts made a short gain and then Putnam ran around right end for 10 yards. Short gains resulted in the second touchdown, Graydon carrying the ball over. Cutts kicked goal...
