...decisive score of 41 to 5. The Pennsylvania players were outweighed to a marked degree and the result of the game was at no time in doubt. They played a creditable uphill game however, in spite of their light weight, and forced Harvard to work hard for every touchdown. Few long gains were made through their line, and Harvard's touchdowns were made by short plunges after good end runs. Pennsylvania held Harvard only once for downs and gained the required five yards but twice...
Harvard's offense, in contrast to the defense, was full of faults, the most fatal of which was fumbling. Against a team playing faster and more accurate football than Pennsylvania, a dropped ball would result in a touchdown for the opponents. Attempts to correct this fault were made early in the season, and it is very discouraging to have it crop out now. The overeagerness of the forwards also cost Harvard the possession of the ball at critical times. Daly's generalship was open to criticism. He undoubtedly put dash into the team, and, as an individual player, was brilliant...
Hare kicked off to Sawin, who ran it back five yards. An exchange of punts followed and finally Sawin ran around right end for a touchdown, but was called back for offside play by Burden. The revolving wedge gained a few yards at this point and then Wallace broke away for 30 yards. He was tackled by Campbell. Harvard then secured the ball on downs, and Sawin ran 57 yards to the 35 yard line, behind splendid interference. Reid and Sawin plunged through Pennsylvania's centre and tackles until the ball crossed the line. On the last dive, however, Reid...
...shown steady improvement in this department of the game, and Sawin, who has fallen off, however, since the middle of the season, can be called on to punt in emergencies. The principal weakness of the team at present is fumbling kicks--a weakness which gave the Indians their touchdown. Sawin, who is strong on catching punts, plays in the backfield with Daly, and together they are sure to clip off many of Pennsylvania's kicks...
...second half a fumble gave the ball to the Seniors, and they advanced it steadily, alternating heavy mass plays through the Freshman left guard with end runs. Finally Shaw went through for a touchdown. The second touchdown was made after a series of long runs by the Freshmen. At the thirty-yard line Knowles took the ball through right tackle and passed it to Derby, who, with excellent interference, ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. The Freshmen had the ball on the Senior's 35-yard line and were gaining steadily when time was called...
