...defense, as in previous practice, was too strong for the weak attack of the second eleven, and allowed no gains to be made. The individual work of the backs was noticeable. Gierasch, playing for the first time after an absence of two weeks, did some brilliant running. He ran low and swiftly, followed his interference carefully, hurdled well and did some good dodging in the broken field, making one brilliant run of sixty-five yards for a touchdown after receiving the kick-off. Putnam and Devens also made long runs, usually with excellent interference. Bowditch was of great value...
...game of thirty minutes. In this, all of the time was given to developing the defensive strength of the first eleven and the ball was constantly returned to the second after it had been held for downs. Consequently there was no scoring. The second's guards, especially Grew, ran the ball well, but the right side of the first team broke up most of the plays. In this J. Lawrence was very effective, but his old fault of paying too much attention to his opponent again appeared, Sargent also did much toward strengthening the defense, watching the plays closely...
Shortly after the next kick-off Stillman ran twenty yards on a fake kick and Daly got twenty-five yards more on a double pass. Ten yards for offside play and Putnam's two gains amounting to fifteen yards then took the ball to the twenty-five yard line. No more gains could be made, and Daly kicked a drop-kick goal from the thirty-five yard line...
...opening of the second half both teams found that they were unable to gain, and Stillman and Wheelock began a series of punts. Stillman's punts were longer than Wheelock's but Roberts ran them back so much that Harvard steadily lost ground. This lasted until seven minutes before the end of the game. Then Kernan took Putnam's place, and by heady running began to get through Carlisle's line for gains. After an exchange of punts Harvard got the ball on the forty-five yard line. It then seemed that Harvard could do no better than make...
...second eleven scored its touchdown on the fourth play, Hawkins getting the ball on Devens' fumble and running forty-five yards to the goal-line. On the kick-off Kernan ran twenty-five yards, and on the next play he got around left end and ran seventy yards for a touchdown. The playing after that became very loose, both teams gaining repeatedly and then losing the advantage by fumbling. Finally the first eleven braced up and began a steady advance to the goal. Kernan made most of the gains around left end, Devens and Stillman helping considerably by successful line...
