...ball was carried to the second's 15-yard line in two plays, where it was lost on a fumble. Before the second made the first score, it was held on the 7-yard line for downs. After that the opponents weakened and were unable to stop the Harvard attack. The play on which the second gained the most ground throughout the game was that in which the ends ran with the ball from their regular positions. In the second half, R. M. Page ran 40 yards through a broken field after recovering the ball on a poor pass...
...middle of the second half, when the score was 9 to 0 in favor of Harvard, on account of the sad injury to acting-captain Byrne of the Army team. Cadet Eugene A. Byrne was playing left tackle, he had been bearing the brunt of the Harvard attack, and the strain had begun to tell on him. On the fatal play, a line plunge just outside left guard, the Harvard back, aided by two or three of his team-mates, had gained a few yards when Byrne dove head foremost in front of the men. In some way his head...

A more varied attack would undoubtedly have been more effective. He ran the team well, put life into the men, and in almost every case handled the ball cleanly. The back-field was rather erratic, at times too slow in starting, and at other times starting before the ball. They ran hard, though it was more through individual brilliancy then team work, that they made their gains. P. D. Smith, Corbett and Frothingham were the best ground...
...ends showed up very well. The quick shift which was the mainstay of the Bates attack was a good test for them, and both regulars and substitutes were able to solve it. L. D. Smith, G. G. Browne and Houston were fast getting down the field under punts and their tackling was sure and hard. Fisher and McKay played well in the line, the latter helping the end at all times...
