...tried out yesterday, Grant and Brennan showed up especially well. Grant was right with the ball all the time, was down under kicks with the ends, and was always at hand to pull along the man who was carrying the ball. Brennan, who has only recently come to the front as a candidate for fullback, besides making many substantial gains through the line, showed considerable ability in running back the ball on kick-offs. The tackle positions were well cared for, Burr, Fish, and Inches all being instrumental in breaking up end plays before they were under...
Harvard's first touchdown was made in the first few minutes of play, after a 15-yard run by Newhall, another 15-yard gain on a recovered on-side kick, and a series of line plays averaging six yards apiece. Parker started the team off for the next touchdown, running 35 yard to Bates' 10-yard line after Burr had blocked Keeney's on-side kick. Brennan made the touchdown in two hard bucks through left tackle. On the next kick-off, Brennan ran back 24 yards, and Burr punted to Bates' 45-yard line. After several exchanges of punts...
...held for downs and on the first play, Lockwood made 25 yards around left end, and in four plays a touchdown was made by Brennan. Bates' only score came as the result of a muffed punt by Rand who was tackled hard just as he caught the ball, Schumacher kicking a placement goal from the 32-yard line. Time was called shortly after the next kick-off, with the ball on Bates' 12-yard line...
...playing in the second half was more ragged owing to the fact that many substitutes were put in. Bates carried the ball from the kick-off, after punting and recovering the ball on a forward pass to Harvard's 40-yard line, where Schumacher punted to Starr who ran to the 16-yard line. Harvard was set back to the 1-2-yard line on a penalty. At this point the team took a brace and carried the ball the whole length of the field for a touchdown, Gilbert scoring. The last touchdown was made by Nourse...
...team immediately worked a series of bucks and passes which carried the ball from the 40-yard line across the goal line, Pope, of the first team, scoring the touchdown on a delayed pass from the 12-yard line. The best plays in this scrimmage were worked from a kick formation, on which Cutler passed the ball to the halfbacks, who ran forward as the play started. Pope made two long gains from this formation; and Sweetser made one of about 15 yards...
