...enough to justify the wretched playing of yesterday. None of the rushers broke through on the half-backs at all; right end and tackle were especially bad in this respect. No one ever seemed to know where the ball was or realize that he had anything to do except watch the man opposite. The Exeter men fell on the ball ten times to Harvard's once.
