...contest started with an initial rush which took their opponents off of their feet. Recovering a fumbled kick at midfield, the 1924 eleven sent its star back, E. S. Gehrke for a 24-yard gain. Here the yearlings were given one of the astonishing breaks which allowed them to leave the field undefeated. Van Gerbig fumbled a pass from the center on the 20-yard line, and a Crimson back pounced on it. Gehrke tore through center for 10 yards and then went over for the first score. Then in the last quarter, with the score 17 to 7 against...
...from the High School of Commerce. Most of the scrimmage was confined to dummy work with the linesmen half-blocking and touch-tackling. For ten minutes, though, the Yearlings mixed it up with the recent vanquishers of Erasmus Hall, a New York aggregation, scoring rapidly from the start at midfield. These results were encouraging in that several of the most valuable backs and linesmen were out of the play. In fact, the backfield was almost entirely substitutes, E. S. Gehrke, P. Jenkins and L.

The fact that the Westerners neither gained a first down nor advanced the pigskin across midfield, shows that their offense was powerless against the Crimson forwards...
Horween kicked off for Harvard, and after line-bucks by Dandalet failed, Bradley punted to Johnson, who ran it back 20 yards, almost to midfield. Horween broke through the Valparaiso line, but fell and Dandalet was on him before he could get up. After another play failed, Humphrey punted across the goal line after Gilbert had punted. A Valparaiso penalty and a buck by Owen brought the pigskin to the 30-yard line, where Gilbert intercepted a forward pass and put his team out of danger...
...scrimmage progressed, Coach Fisher sent in more substitutes until nearly every member of the squad had been given a chance. Drop-kicks by Hamilton and B. A. Hunneman '22 of the scrub eleven failed, and Coach Fisher gave the ball to the opposition at midfield. Here D. McK. Key '22 broke loose and tore through the substitutes for a 30-yard run, which was followed by a touchdown for the Second Team when a fleet scrub picked up a rolling ball and crossed the red goal line...
