...attack was met with such a strong opposition that three times, after rushing well into its opponents' territory, the University team lost the ball twice on downs, and once on a fumble. In this hard rushing, on which Harvard netted nearly 100 yards, the men carrying the ball bore the brunt of Pennsylvania's aggressive defense and were literally worn out. The effect was seen in the second half, when Harvard was so weakened as to be on the defense practically all the time, and was always forced to punt after two or three rushes. The centre of Pennsylvania...

...fumble was due to a poor pass from centre. Randall played a hard, reliable game, Montgomery, pitted against an end of national reputation, played his position with credit, and Matthews was fast in getting down under kicks, deadly in tackling and effective in breaking up interference. Derby and Brill bore the brunt of Yale's attack in the first half and both contested every inch gained through them.

...able showing against Glass, who filled one of the strongest places in Yale's line. Scarcely a gain was made through this position on the Harvard team, and once at a critical time, Marshall broke through and tackled one of Yale's trick plays for a loss. Barnard bore the brunt of Yale's attack during the larger part of the game and though it was a severe task, did it commendably. Knowlton and Shea proved themselves to be effective tackles, both defensively and in carrying the ball. Putnam made a number of Harvard's gains outside of tackle...
