...ball and kicking on the third down. Occasionally, however, Trafford gave the men a rest by punting on the first down. Harvard's work was characterized by shap and she made more successful attempts at team play than she has shown heretofore this season. Everybody in the rush line held and used his hands, however, and Harvard, as a result, lost the ball on fouls repeatedly. The men showed an inability to stop Amherst's V which gained her five or ten yards time and again. Once or twice also the Amherst men made big holes in Harvard's line...
...whole, however, the play was encouraging. Corbett made several brilliant dashes, and showed a good deal of life and speed. Lake, Trafford and Dean also did good, steady work behind the line. Of the forwards Finlay showed up very well. Hallowell did a great share of the tackling in the line and handled himself creditably. Shea was at right tackle instead of Newell, and his play was good throughout. He rushed well with the ball.

Shea, Lake, Upton and Trafford brought the ball to Amherst's 15 yard line. Trafford made an unsuccessful try for goal from the field on the third down, Amherst gained 10 yards from the 25 yard line on the V. She lost by an exchange of kicks, and Corbett had to run but a few yards before scoring; goal. Score 36-0. Amherst began...
