...Brown game was the closest that has been seen in the Stadium this year. The University team, with only five minutes to play and with the score 5 to 0 against them, put a snap into their actions that was irresistible, and rushed the ball straight down the field for a touchdown. Previous to Brown's touchdown, they put up a magnificent exhibition of holding on their own goal line...
...goals from placement and in cutting off a fake forward pass. Gilder, who played during most of the game at quarterback, after Newhall was injured, covered his backfield position fairly well, but used very poor judgment in his choice of plays, and did not run the team with the snap which characterized Newhall's playing. Wendell was the life of the Harvard backfield, and in his first game of the season showed all his former speed and ability to keep his feet. He made some fumbles, however, which proved costly. Apollonio backed up the line well on the defense...

They had less than five minutes in which to play, but after recovering a long forward pass on Brown's 8-yard line, Lockwood scored a touchdown on the third play...
Mayhew's offensive work in end running was remarkable, and by his speed and clever dodging he gained about 100 yards for his team: Dennie also ran well and put lots of snap into his team. He had remarkable control over his punts, and the low, straight spirals which he sent to the backfield were very difficult either to judge or catch...
