...Sawin made the longest run of the game, carrying the ball 55 yards to Pennsylvania's 35-yard line. Harvard was penalized for off-side play once, and Pennsylvania twice. Harvard lost the ball on a fumble once...
...other backs played an uneven game. Sawin made a dashing halfback, and gained at will around right end and tackle. But his try for a goal from the field was blocked. Kendall was not so successful as a rusher. He was frequently slow in starting and often allowed Coombs to down him for losses. He was replaced by Warren in the last five minutes on account of a minor injury to his leg. Reid was used in the first half on account of his defensive ability, and was of great assistance in stopping the guards-back play. In spite...
Burnett kicked off to Hare who was promptly tackled by Hallowell. The guards-back plays failed to gain and Campbell secured the ball on an attempt at a fake kick. After a few rushes Reid failed to gain through centre and Sawin tried a goal from the field. Wallace blocked the kick. Coombs punted to Daly on Pennsylvania's thirty-five yard line. Five rushes, mostly by Kendall' carried the ball over the line. Daly's punt out was poor and no goal could be tried...

Reid and Sawin plunged through Pennsylvania's centre and tackles until the ball crossed the line. On the last dive, however, Reid...
...have overcome the tendency to lose their heads and are now very steady players. Campbell has adjusted himself to the team more easily than any of the new men. Daly plays the same game as last year but Reid has fallen off. Kendall is a brilliant line bucker and Sawin dodges well. Warren, Gierasch and Ellis are, in many respects, stronger than the other backs, but do not combine the qualities of a backfield which will be efficient against Pennsylvania, namely kicking, sureness in catching punts and speed in running them back...
