...beginning of the second half '99 kicked off and 1901 started in by making several good gains.

Parker also ran strongly for good gains, being particularly noticeable on the defence, however, for an aggressiveness which enabled him to break through and block kicks. Warren was not up to his usual form. He rushed fairly well, but his punting was poor, an exchange of kicks nearly always resulting in a loss for Harvard...
