...chance to play, was so strong on the offensive and employed such effective team-play that Amherst did not once secure the ball on downs. As four touchdowns in the first half proved that the game was only a question of score, line-plays alone were used, in the second half, to give the forwards as much practice as possible. Since the Amherst line stood very high, the Harvard line found it easy to open holes at will, by applying the principles of playing which have lately been drilled into them. Consequently the game was in many respects of much...
...second half, the line-bucking game did not net so many touchdowns as were scored in the first half. On a fumble of Daly's return of the kick-off, J. Lawrence fell on the ball, and a series of line plays carried it across for a touchdown. Amherst was forced to kick the ball three times in this half. Devens and Ellis each scored again, and Sawin kicked the goals, one of which was from a punt-out. Time was called when Sawin was running for a touchdown with a clear field, but he unfortunately stopped at the sound...
After R. Lawrence had kicked-off to Sargent, vigorous rushing by Ellis and Kendall carried the ball steadily down the field until Devens scored, Peyton was the only man on the second eleven who played with any dash. Them the second eleven was given the ball in the centre of the field to strengthen the first's defense. After they had been thrown back for several downs, Brayton made fifteen yards through Lawrence.

...through. After a few days of work of this sort, teams were formed against one another whenever numbers permitted, and short halves were played. The Junior team seems to have made the most satisfactory progress for the ten day's work. In yesterday's practice both the first and second elevens were alert and ready. The followed the ball well, fumbled but little, and entered aggressively into every play. The Sophomores, on the other hand, showed very little knowledge of the game. Their team work was poor and they displayed a general looseness and lack of snap which was made...
