...shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded all expectations. In previous games he had been slow in sizing up the plays of opposing teams, and his tackling had been weak, but on Saturday he was always ready for Yale's fake kick runs, and he tackled hard and surely. Starr also filled his position well and, as usual, his tackling was his strong point. From tackle to tackle it was a stand-off between the two lines on the offense, with a slight advantage in favor of Yale in defensive work. Parker, although suffering...
...Jones received Burr's kick-off and ran the ball back 10 yards to the 30-yard line. Coy punted outside to Harvard's 25-yard line. On a fake kick Apollonio gained three yards through centre. Newhall dropped back to punt, but the Yale team, expecting a fake play, were taken off their guard and Macdonald, by fast work, recovered the ball on Yale's 20-yard line. In two plays Wendell gained only two yards and Parker tried a goal from the field, but the ball went to Jones on the 6-yard line...
...three plays Coy advanced to the 20-yard line, but Yale was penalized 15 yards for holding and immediately afterwards, 15 more for a forward pass which hit the ground. With the hall in the middle of the field, T. Jones tried Harvard's right end on a fake kick, but Macdonald tackled him for a 20-yard loss...
...this season. The Harvard centre trio divided honors with their opponents, except for Grant, for whom Brusse was no match. Grant was, as usual, one of the first men down under punts. He succeeded in blocking one of Glaze's attempted goals from placement and in cutting off a fake forward pass. Gilder, who played during most of the game at quarterback, after Newhall was injured, covered his backfield position fairly well, but used very poor judgment in his choice of plays, and did not run the team with the snap which characterized Newhall's playing. Wendell was the life...
Just before Dartmouth's final tally, Peirce, Grant and Apollonio worked a very pretty play. Peirce and Grant blocked a fake forward pass and Peirce ran eight yards down the field before being tackled. As he fell he passed back to Apollonio, who ran 10 yards further before he was downed. Immediately after this play Lockwood, who had replaced Rand, lost 12 yards on an end play, and then Wendell punted. Three Dartmouth men broke through simultaneously and blocked the kick. Tobin picked it up and ran 30 yards for the last touchdown of the game...
