...Sawin punted on the third down, the ball going outside on Brown's twenty-yard line. Bates returned a low, bounding ball, which Sawin cleverly handled. Daly then changed his tactics, and, after ten plays, alternating centre plunges and mass plays on tackle, Kendall was sent across for a touchdown. Sawin kicked an easy goal. The same line bucking game was tried again, with the result that the ball was advanced to the five-yard line, where it was lost on downs. Brown punted safely, and, with the ball in the centre of the field, time was called...
...punt, Campbell downed Pratt on Brown's fifteen-yard line. Richardson gained forty-five yards around Hallowell before he was downed by Ellis. After more punting, Harvard obtained possession of the ball, and, by vigorous plunges at centre advanced it until Ellis finally carried it across the line. The touchdown was not allowed, however, because of holding in the line, and the ball was brought back and given to Brown. A successful trick on Campbell ran the ball back to the centre of the field, where Chesbro was disqualified for unfair play. Burnett then secured the ball on a fumble...
Harvard's offense was irregular throughout. After long runs by Sawin, and hard line-plunging by Hurley, Warren and Ellis, a costly fumble, or offside play would give the ball to Bates, and lessen the chances for a touchdown. Hurley and Sawin were the only backs who went into the line low. The hurdling style of Ellis and Warren, although effective yesterday, will not gain ground against a strong team. In the back-field, Sawin did excellent work. He outpunted Putnam repeatedly and by following his interference well, made several long runs...
...touchdowns were scored during the first half and three in the second. In the first two minutes of play, Sawin ran ninety yards for a touchdown, after catching a punt. A few minutes later, Warren, with good interference, cleared left end, and scored from the middle of the field...
...spirit, and the line-men in particular played with more vigor than usual. Much attention was paid to punting, not only in the preliminary work, but also in the line-up that followed. Only one-half was played against the second eleven in which the first scored one touchdown and a goal from the field by Sawin. After the line-up Coach Dibblee carefully drilled the backs in the formation of interference. With both Campbell and Hallowell out of the practice the work of the ends was poor. As the second did not rush the ball at any time...
