...individual running of Putnam and Kernan won the game for Harvard. They were the only reliable ground-gainers and were used constantly. Stillman was fairly successful in line plunging, but could not gain very much because he had no support from the rest of the team. Fincke was in poor form and was not as steady as usual. His fumbles were costly and lost a great deal of ground. The playing of the ends was the worst done this year. Ristine, Clark and Bowditch were all easily boxed and were not watchful enough in stopping trick plays...
...kick-off was short, and Brown got the ball on her thirty-five yard line. Washburn then circled Ristine's end for twenty-five yards, and a moment later Barry got around Bowditch for twenty-five yards more. This took the ball to the twenty-yard line, but Brown could make no further gain. Bates then tried a place kick from the thirty yard line, but the pass was poor and Harvard got the ball. Then by a series of short line plunges by Kernan, Putnam and Stillman, Harvard slowly carried the ball to Brown's five-yard line...

Soon after the next kick-off Rainsford had a chance for place-kick goal from the first team's thirty yard line, but failed. The first team could not gain after this because of the frequent fumbles, holdings, and off side plays, and the rest of the time was given up to almost continual punting...
...opinion which has at one time or another gained ground--that there is "juggling" done occasionally with the figures in statistical offices--there is this to say. "Juggling" with facts is impossible. The agents could send in no false figures to the central office for they would be discovered if they did. In the central office itself all political and social tendencies are represented and the statistical editors work in an atmosphere of free criticism of each other and of their chief. From the unscientific data of the part it has been difficult to secure scientific conclusions, and if there...
...together, and made most of the tackles on Harvard's end plays. His only fault was slowness in getting his punts away, and this resulted in a touchdown for Harvard. No other man on the Pennsylvania team approached Hare in playing. McCracken and Wallace gained a little ground, but could only do it occasionally. Grave's playing was marred by costly fumbling, and all of the other men showed glaring weaknesses...
