...Dudley got the ball, made a long run down the field and passed beautifully to Hood who threw a goal for Harvard in 4 1-2 minutes after play had begun. This quite over joyed the Harvard men. Montreal secured the next goal in two minutes, the ball being swiped in by Grant. Again the play began. The Montreals passed finely, and several times were prevented from scoring by the excellent defence work of Harvard. The goal was captured in three minutes by Carlind after sharp dodging. Long throws by Williams and Nichols kept Harvard's goal free for some...

His chief fault is "Monkeying with the ball" before picking it up. The fielders are playing rather a loose game and do not support each other enough. Roundy is effective in covering his man, but does not start quickly...
