...tackled low. Cutts had no difficulty in opening holes when called upon, and carried the ball with strength and intelligence. He was quicker in starting and kept his feet longer than usually. He interfered in good style. Bowditch played a brilliant game in all but one particular. He was slow in getting down the field on kicks, but though he did not tackle the player who caught the ball, succeeded in turning him in. Bowditch was very valuable in helping the runner along, and succeeded in adding materially to the ground gained. Campbell was also slow in getting down...
...side play. Harvard, too, gained through careless playing, securing the ball four times on fumbles, and in addition gaining 40 yards in all through off-side play and interference. In kicking, Pennsylvania outclassed Harvard, for though Putnam kicked nearly as well as Reynolds. Harvard's ends were so slow in getting down the field that Pennsylvania ran back kicks from 5 to 20 yards each time. Moreover, Harvard formed no interference for running back punts and kickoffs, although the need of this had been constantly impressed on the men. Contrary to expectations, Harvard proved stronger in line plays than those...
...team as it now stands, shows the result of a steady, though slow, development in team play, and of careful coaching in the more minute details. As is natural under these circumstances it is stronger on the defense than on the offense. The men play with spirit and dash, and are well together in stopping plays through the line.

Cutts is playing a hard and spirited game and has shown considerable improvement in his playing. He is still a little slow in charging and in running with the ball, but his strength is of great advantage to the team. Blagden has shown decided improvement. From a rather unlikely candidate he has become one of the most promising candidates for tackle. He is slow in getting down the field, but manages to carry...
...line and keeping his feet. He is valuable in breaking up the line. McGrew has improved considerably in recent games. He is particularly capable in line plays. Lawrence plays with spirit, but is not very effective on the defense. Clark plays a reliable game at end, but is slow in getting down the field on kicks. Cooper shows good judgment in playing his position and is effective in stopping play around his end. Devens runs well, but does not follow his interference closely enough. Mifflin hits the line hard, but does not keep his feet well...
