...Though he published little (very little for a man of such wide and varied learning) under his own name, he always put his best scholarship at the disposal of his friends. One of the best instances is the work which he gave to the revision of Lewis's (known as Harper's) Latin Lexicon, which, according to the editors preface, bears throughout the marks of his skill and critical scholarship. One of his smallest works, the pamphlet on Latin Proununciation, has indeed worked a revolution which even the learning of a Munro could never even begin in England...
Harvard may not have been weaker than a year ago, but she could not gain as well by rushing. The line plays were not tried to any great extent, the chief reliance being placed on trick and end plays. Her defense, though twice admirable in holding their opponents for downs within the five-yard line, was not developed to resist the mass plays hurled at the line. On the whole, Harvard's defense, especially in the second half, was a trifle better, though her offense was not so good as it was a year...
...surprise of almost everyone Pennsylvania scored but once in the second half, this one touchdown being made by continuous poundings at Harvard's guards and tackles. Haughton skillfully blocked the punt out by Overfield, making the score 15 to 6. Though Pennsylvania carried the ball once afterwards from her own 25 yard line to Harvard's one yard line, on her same mass-formation and fakes around the end, she could not make another touchdown. Morice towards the end of the game tried for another goal from the field on a drop kick but it was blocked...
Doucette, Haskell, Bouve and Wheeler stood the heavy attacks aimed at them bravely, though usually ineffectually. It would be unfair to place the blame for the gains made by Pennsylvania on the "guards-back" play on the man at whom the plays were aimed. No one man could be expected to stop these plays...
...once during the game was Harvard's goal really in danger, though several times Yale was able to get the ball on Harvard's 30 and 25 yard lines. This was in great measure due to the carelessness of Harvard's line, which was several times penalized for off-side play and holding. Though there was considerable fumbling on both sides, the only costly fumble was Richards's, when Reid picked up the ball and made a touchdown from the centre of the field. In this run Reid was helped by the strong interference of Hawkins...
