...work was characterized by shap and she made more successful attempts at team play than she has shown heretofore this season. Everybody in the rush line held and used his hands, however, and Harvard, as a result, lost the ball on fouls repeatedly. The men showed an inability to stop Amherst's V which gained her five or ten yards time and again. Once or twice also the Amherst men made big holes in Harvard's line through which the backs ran without any trouble...
...centre men do not seem to be able to stop a wedge under any circumstances and the other men on the line are too slow about coming to take unblocked men near the centre...
...affected the strength of their team, any comparison of the college teams on the basis of yesterday's score would be misleading.

Cornell got through the line many times Saturday on this account. Another is the inability to stop a V quickly; nearly every team that has played the 'varsity this year has regularly gained ten and fifteen yards whenever they put the ball in play in this way. Dean's passing was not good Saturday; otherwise his play was all that could be desired. Trafford showed great and gratifying...
