Stillman, fullback, is an average kicker, but he is apt to fumble and in rushing strikes the line without the force which his weight should warrant. He has not yet learned the duties of a rush line halfback and is uncertain in the backfield...
Captain Hare was the main strength of his team, and as usual, undertook the bulk of the work. His confidence in his own powers unfortunately led him to attempt to rush the ball himself when the use of other men might have resulted in more gains. Coombs kicked well and was strong on the defense...
...reliance can be placed not only upon the end interference, but also upon the plays through the line, especially with Kendall and Ellis playing. With his long punts, Hallowell should equal Hudson in kicking. Skilful as the latter is in kicking goals from the field, his eleven must first rush the ball at least to Harvard's 30-yard line before he can have the opportunity. Harvard can prevent this by means of the recently developed defense. As Boal and Hollingsworth are injured, and as Merriman has not come up to expectations at left guard, A. R. Sargent will play...

The first eleven started to play a kicking game, and, as the second could not rush the ball back, soon carried it down the field for a touchdown. The 'Varsity scored one more touchdown soon after on brilliant running by Gierasch. Poor interference on the kick-off failed to carry the ball down the field.

Sawin missed the goal after a good punt out by Daly. Daly returned the kick-off, and, after an exchange of punts, the game ended with the ball in Brown's possession, near the centre of the field...
