Captain Cumnock played Lake and Fearing at half-back, and during the first half they were sent through the cetre instead of around the ends as usual. The success which attended this style of play, considering the strength of the Cornell centre, is encouraging. Lake's work was particularly good; one of his rushes through the centre of the Cornell team and nearly half the length of the field was remarkable. Fearing also played well; his tackling is peculiar but effective. The rush line work was, on the whole, good, and at some times brilliant. One of the worst faults...
...took Crosby's place; he did not play so well as Crosby, who had been doing brilliant work. A short time after the beginning of the half Lee took the place of Lake, who was hurt slightly. During this half Harvard did not try to run the score up; instead of carrying the ball across the line, the halfbacks would deposit it somewhere within fifteen or twenty yards of the goal posts and then Trafford would try for a goal from the field. This sort of practice was very exasperating to Cornell; but it gave the Harvard rushers practice...

Shead '93, (4 yds.) second. In the final heat Cook won by over...
Then '92 began to rush better. Henry made good rushes and carried the ball near '91's line. Had '92 been heavier they could have gained the requisite 5 yards by pushing, but instead the ball was given to '91 on off side play. Weld kicked and '92 was given 5 yards for interference with a fair catch. Forbes made a kick over. Kicks were exchanged and the ball went to '92 on four downs. It was passed to Forbes as if for a kick, but he passed it to White, who carried it within five yards of the goal...
