...defence was strong, especially in the second half. The only time Bates gained first down, was by an onside kick which should have been caught by one of the Harvard backs. The line played too high, noticeably the left side, and permitted their opponents to get under them. The lack of scrimmages in practice probably accounts for the fumbling and this should be remedied by the end of the week. The offence was rather erratic, though P. D. Smith was almost always able to gain the required distance...
Captain Fish won the toss and Harvard received the kick-off at the north end of the field. O'Flaherty ran in the kick-off 12 yards to the 27-yard line. Bates was offside on the first play, and Corbert punted to Bates's 50-yard line. G. G. Browne recovered the ball when Bates fumbled. Corbett failed to gain outside tackle, but P. D. Smith gained fourteen yards through centre. After two line plays, O'Flaherty tried a forward pass, but was tackled before he could get the ball away and fumbled, Keaney recovering the ball for Bates...
...Bates kicked off to P. D. Smith, who made a sensational run of 50 yards through a broken field. The ball was brought back to Harvard's 10-yard line, however, as Browne was holding. Corbett punted on the first play to Lovely, who ran outside on Harvard's 54-yard line. Two plays gained five yards, McKay stopping the second one before it started. Keaney tried a drop-kick from the 50-yard line, the ball bounding over Harvard's goal line. The ball was put in play again on the 25-yard line and Corbett slipped by tackle...
...scrimmage yesterday was commenced with several kick-offs in order to give the first team an opportunity to run them in; it was the first line-up for a kick-off-this season. The ball alternated between the two teams, with the advantage slightly favoring the first. O'Flaherty ran the University team well, making a brilliant 20-yard run after catching a punt. However, after a 13-minute scrimmage, neither side had scored and the substitutes went in against the second substitutes in a short scrimmage...
...west shore and worked out over the last half-mile of the course. The University eight went over the half-mile in 2 minutes and 27 seconds, rowing about 38 for the whole distance. All the orders were regular. Although the wind still continued to blow hard and kick up rough water at the time for the evening row, the crews all had stiff work. The University eight in its new order paddled down-stream to about a quarter of a mile beyond the two-mile flag at the Navy Yard and back in easy stretches at a slow stroke...
