...Harvard defence was very good. Williams only made one first down on straight football, that on a 22-yard run by Lewis. Forster was rather weak, and once West let Prindle by for five yards. Nevertheless, the defensive work was Harvard's best quality. In the second half Captain Fish, who was hardly in condition, played brilliantly in Forster's place, inspiring the team with new life, which made the victory possible...

Williams was penalized for starting before the ball and Stevens punted over O'Flaherty's head, the ball rolling toward the Harvard goal. Three...
