...taken completely off its feet in the first half by the skillful way in which Springfield worked the forward pass, using it successfully nine times for a total gain of about 105 yards. Although the ball was chiefly in Springfield's territory, it was due to the fact that Burr out-punted Honhart and to the fumbling of two of Briggs' passes one of which put the ball back to Springfield's 3-yard line. Harvard showed some improvement in the second half when all the scoring was done, but even that it was mediocre football...
...general, the Harvard line-men did good work. Macdonald was down well under punts but his tackling wasn't sure. Forster was a little slow and was inclined to be drawn in on end plays, but he helped the backs along well on the offense. Burr played well, both offensively and defensively, and his recovery of his first blocked kick was a very fast piece of work. He seemed to be somewhat slow in getting his punts off, but did not have adequate protection when called on to kick. Fish put up a good game on the offense and tackled...
...Burr dribbled the ball on the kickoff but Harvard failed to recover it owing to Briggs' quickness. A line play failed to gain and Honhart passed forward to Crispin.

After a failure to gain, Burr fell back to punt, but the kick was blocked. He recovered the ball on the 5-yard line and tried another kick which was also blocked, Colton failing on the ball behind the line. Honhart failed to kick the goal...
...Burr kicked off over the goal line. The ball was brought back for offside play, and Burr kicked over again, the ball travelling 70 yards. Shortly after Springfield's punt-out, Burr made a return punt. Rand intercepted Honhart's forward pass on the next play and then the ball was carried 20 yards in four plays for a touchdown by Apollonio. Gilbert missed Starr's punt--out, and the score...
