...game. Harvard had the ball, and the whole team was bunched well forward to force it ahead; Burgess put it in play, and passed it to Lake. The latter dropped the ball, and before he could recover it, Crocker, who had broken through a weak spot in the line somewhere, picked it up, and with a perfectly clean field before him had no difficulty in scoring a touch-down in just a half minute after play began. Cutler kicked the goal. Score, 6-0 for Amherst...
This seemed to arouse the team, and they began to play with some life. Lake gained 25 yards when the ball was put in play. It was rapidly forced down towards Amherst's line until Harvard seemed about to score. Then some loose work stopped the progress and the ball had to be passed to Trafford for a try at a goal from the field. The try was a failure, and the ball went to Amherst. An exchange of punts resulted in a loss of ground for Amherst; with the ball near the line it was passed to Talcott...
...found a good hole, and scored the third touchdown; no goal. Score, 12-6 for Harvard. Harvard soon got the ball, and Fearing made a good run of 25 yards around the end, and aided by the blocking of Trafford and Burgess, succeeded in getting the ball across the line again; goal.

Weld played a good game at full-back and Harris rushed with energy but with small headwork. The rush line work was miserable. Some of the men in it were out of condition and the others did not know how to play. The teams were as follows: Cambridge-Rushers: Arnold, Page, Dyer, Haines, Davenport, Benshimol, Thayer. Quarterback, Wrenn; halves, Whitman and Stark; full-back, Raymond...
Dean is still laid up with a lame shoulder, and Burgess, '93, played quarter-back on the first eleven with G. F. Harding. L. S., in the same position on the second. Lee was behind the line again at right half-back on the first, but his knee still seemed to bother him considerably. Lake was the other half-back and with Trafford at full, the first eleven was made up as follows: Rushers, Cumnock, '91, Upton, '93, Vail, '93, Cranston, '92, centre; Blanchard, '91, Newell, '94, Hallowell, '93. The second eleven was made up with Frothingham, '93, at full...
