...seemed to be thoroughly demoralized. '99 broke through at will and Holden especially made several good plunges into the line. '99 finally lost the ball and 1901 kicked and secured the ball on their 30-yard line. '99 was then given the ball and 10 yards for off side play. A few moments later 1901 was again penalized. The Juniors then began to kick and kept up this style of play until they were on 1901's 10-yard line. Daly was hurt and Putnam took his place. 1901 held well on their 4-yard line...
Harvard exhibited throughout the game a fatal weakness. The forwards held continually and were often off-side, a fault that told immensely with an umpire as impartial and alert as Mr. Dashiel. The backs kept together better on interference than they have done previously this year. They also started quicker and ran with more precision, all of which favorably commends the system of devoting much time to signal practice, which has been so minutely carried out lately.

Boal, as a groundgainer, was used with telling effect. He was always sure of a gain. His worst fault is that he still runs too high. Doucette played his usual brilliant game at centre, following the ball with great precision and was always...

There was a strong wind blowing straight down the field, but otherwise the conditions were good. '99 chose the side with the wind and '98 kicked off. After a run around right end and through left tackle, Brown kicked and Vincent caught the ball for '98. '98 then lost the ball on downs and '99 kicked again. Riggs, after making some slight gains through centre and guard, fumbled and '99 got the ball. Adams then went through left tackle for twenty yards and Davis went around the right end for twenty more and a touchdown, and Adams kicked the goal...
