...plays ran smoothly and in quick succession. Newton was fairly taken off her feet and was unable to withstand the fierce attacks made upon her line. A touchdown was scored within three minutes after play. During the remainder of the half, the ball was always in Newton's territory. Twice the ball was rushed to the 10-yard line only to be lost on downs. The line-men may deserve some censure for a lack of aggressiveness at such critical stages. Otherwise the line was strong in spite of the number of substitutes played. None of Newton's punts were...
...Freshmen relieved the second in the last half, and showed great capabilities by their exceedingly snappy style of play and Reid's excellent punting. They rushed the ball with energy, and entered into the play with plenty of spirit. Twice, Reid punted over Warren's head; and before the 'Varsity had wakened up they were forced to punt to Reid who made a fair-catch on the 30-yard line. Daly missed an easy goal from the field.

Harvard, it may be said, played erratically. In the first half, practically the whole Harvard line was through twice to block punts. In the same half, practically the whole Amherst eleven piled through on Haughton who was kicking close up to the line. Throughout the game, in fact, the line was palpably weak in the defence of punts; and besides broke through poorly in comparison with the light-weight Amherst...
