...same plan of attack was pursued as in the smaller games. After the first few minutes had proved that Harvard could score around the cadets' weak ends, every other time the ball came into Harvard's possession, the backs were sent into the line. The practice thus gained was of special value, as line plays and not end plays are of most avail against the strong teams to come. In the first part of the game the West Point line forced Harvard to exert every effort to gain by these straight dive plays, but as they weakened in the second...
...Harvard scored in two minutes of play. After two exchanges of kicks in Harvard's favor, Daly caught Ennis's punt and ran to West Point's thirty-yard line. Gains through the line took the ball to the fifteen yard line, and then Sawin scored on an end play. During the remainder of the half, Harvard scored a second time by steady gains through the opposing line. At no time was the Harvard goal in danger. In the second half, by the same line-bucking tactics, Harvard secured the ball several times on West Point's ten-yard line...

...first game of the Freshman eleven, which was played with Exeter on Soldiers Field, Saturday afternoon, resulted in a tie, neither side being able to score. The Freshmen played a mediocre game. They tackled well, but fumbled a great deal and ran too high. Only once, in the second half, did it seem likely that they would score, but the ball was lost and Brill quickly punted it out of danger. Exeter, on the other hand, played a sharp and fast game, but missed the chance to score by attempting four goals from the field, which were all unsuccessful...
...Yale eleven defeated the Dartmouth team at Newton on Saturday by the score of 12 to 0. The game was hard fought from start to finish. Both teams were crippled because several of the best players were prevented by injuries from taking part in the game. Yale was particularly weak on the left side of the line, and it was at this point that Dartmouth directed most of her successful plays. The tackles were also below the Yale standard. Yale depended on line bucking formations, directed at the centre and tackles, but tried no end plays throughout the game...
