...which may have been partly due to the absence of the regular quarter, delayed the play and probably reduced the final score. Hallowell played a good game at quarter, running especially well on the kick-offs, but he relied too much upon the centre plays during the first half. Though Pennsylvania's centre was very weak, the tackle and guard plays did not gain so much as did the end plays in the second half. In this half assisted by the strong west wind Harvard should have made more than sixteen points. This low score was partly on account...
...what little interference there was. Reid out-classed Willing at punting, often gaining 20 and 30 yards in the return of punts. In kicking Harvard's line held firmly and the ball was never in danger of being blocked. Lawrence did brilliant work in kicking goals from touchdowns and though six of the goals were against a stiff breeze, he succeeded in kicking eight out of nine.

At fullback, Reid showed up well both in punting and rushing with the ball...

Leo pold at quarter played the best for the visitors, while Willing put up a good game at fullback notwithstanding that he had been injured in the early part of the first half. Though none of the backs were able to gain through the Harvard line, both Smith and Diefendorf played a strong defensive game...
...Varsity, composed chiefly of substitutes, lined up for a couple of lively halves with the second in which the play, though marked by occasional streaks of brilliant work, was as a whole slow and discouraging. The plays were run off poorly, there was a confusion of signals, and the backs in general showed poor headwork in their running...
