...other times, however, affairs were just reversed; the men were slow in dropping on the ball, allowed themselves to be blocked off easily, and failed to hold well in the rushline. There was repeated confusion from a misunderstanding of the signals by the rushline, and the backs frequently went in direct opposition to their signals. Both sides played largely a kicking game, and in punting Hall, Wesleyan's fullback, was superior to Trafford. In Harvard's rushline Crosby played a very vigorous game, making some superb tackles, and following the ball well, but blocking poorly. On the other end McDonald...
...made a beautiful gain of twenty yards. On the second down he punted to Hall. McDonald dodged finely and brought the ball back near the middle of the field. Crosby fell on the ball. It was passed to White but Crane tackled him before he got started. The ball went to Wesleyan on a misplay of Dean's. The full-backs kicked back and forth for several minutes, neither side making any gain. At last Harvard adopted rushing tactics again, and White, Stickney, Lee and Blanchard took the play well down towards Wesleyan's line. Lee made a superb rush...
...time of rapid expansion, and of unscrupulous accumulation. Out of such experiences the great epic traditions of a nation were born. These epics are not left intact. The Germans in the midst of this period adopted the Christian religion, and abandoned their own religious ideas; with the religious ideas went the poetic ideas, too.

The ball soon went to Harvard on four downs, and Trafford kicked on the third down. Hulme made a flare catch on the thirty-five yard line and kicked. Saxe caught it on the run and got thirty yards. Stickney, Saxe and Fearing gained 13 yards but Pennsylvania's rushers broke through and got the ball. Valentine ran around Cumnock's end and gained twenty yards...
...took Fearing's place in the second-half. Harvard had the ball and Harding made ten yards at the kick off. He fumbled it in a moment, however, and Pennsylvania began forcing it ahead. Valentine and Hulme went through the Harvard rushers at will and the ball was at Harvard's ten-yard line. Thayer fumbled and P. Trafford fell on the ball. Trafford kicked and P. Trafford picked up the leather and rushed 15 yards. Lee and Saxe fumbled badly, but Harvard luckily kept the ball. On Saxe's fumble again, Pennsylvania got the ball and Hulme, Valentine...
