Another big factor in containing the Dartmouth rushing game was Restic's use of a 4-3 alignment for about half of the game.

The four defensive linemen were able to get better penetration lined up in the gaps rather than lined up directly across from someone, and the three linebackers were able to clog up any running room that did develop...
Harvard was one of 14 universities which shared use of the multi-million dollar Princeton facility in a consortium arrangement, Weber said yesterday. The supercomputers, highly valued in advanced scientific research, make billions of calculations per second and are used in subatomic physics and semiconductor research, among other applications...

Until then, most readers had to content themselves with engravings copied from photographs. Meanwhile, the bulky camera gear of the 19th century hardly lent itself to instant coverage.
