For Harvard, Smith and Lewis made some excellent tackles, but were unable to make consistent gains with the forward pass from Potter. In the backfield Corbett was the most reliable ground gainer, and Wendell at times advanced the ball for large gains through the line...
...effect of this rule will be two-fold: 1st. It will prevent a man from attempting to gain his distance after he is fairly "down." 2d. It will allow no excuse for "piling up" by players of the defensive side.

In addition to these three first places, he came in second in the trials for altitude, duration, and distance, and was the winner of the Globe...
...fence in front of the grand-stand. Kearney fortunately sustained but few injuries himself. Clifford B. Harmon, an amateur, also damaged his machine, a Farman biplane. Grahame-White's biplane of the same kind was slightly broken when it was caught by the wind just as it reached the ground...
