...there was one run of 74 yards straight through the line for a touchdown, and there were others similarly executed which, if not stopped by the man in the backfield, would have had the same result. With the exception of these plays and a few punts of extraordinary length, there was little of the spectacular. For the most part, the game was a long series of rushes with scarcely any variation from the accepted style of attack--the tackle-back formation -- which has come into use in all the important games of recent years. A few end runs were tried...
...respective positions, the Harvard men left little to be desired, but they had not learned to assist one-another. When the ball was to be advanced, it was the man who carried it that did most of the work, and though there were gains, some of them of considerable length, they were due almost entirely to individual excellence. On the other hand, the efforts of the man who carried the ball for Yale were but secondary in the attainment of the end. Every play in which Yale attempted to advance the ball brought out the combined strength of every...
Returning, all the special trains will leave New Haven within a short time after the close of the game, allowing a reasonable length of time to reach the stations from the field. Practically the same time will be made on the return trip as from Boston to New Haven. After the departure of the special trains there will be no trains from New Haven to Boston until the regular early Sunday morning trains. Following is the schedule of the regular trains from New Haven to Boston on Sunday: N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Leave New Haven. Arrive Boston...

Most of the gains were at least 5 yards in length and a number were considerably longer. Kernan frequently circled the ends for advances of from 10 to 20 yards, and Putnam made one run of 45 yards which nearly ended in a touchdown. Knowlton and Mills were used a great deal in line plunging, and it was by their steady gaining that many of the scores...
Four of the touchdowns were made in the first half and all of them were the result of rushes which extended over almost the entire length of the field. The second eleven kicked off in every instance and after end plays had brought the ball to the centre of the field, the tackle-back formation was used for the rest of the distance to the goal line. Just before time was called in the first half, several punts by Kernan worked the ball down close to the second team's goal and gave Marshall an opportunity to try a goal...
