Scarlett interfered with Foster's fair catch on Harvard's 54-yard line and Harvard was given 15 yards' putting the ball on Pennsylvania's 51-yard line, where Burr tried a goal from placement, Starr holding the ball. The ball went wide...
...rushes, the ball was three times advanced almost half the length of the field only to be lost when within striking distance of the goal line. These were the only chances Harvard had to score during the whole game, except on a futile attempt to kick a goal from placement from the 50-yard line just before time was called at the end of the first half.

At least six men must be on the line of scrimmage in all plays, instead of seven men between the two 25 yard lines, and five between the 25 and goal lines. If only six are on the line, one of the backfield must be outside the end linesman. Under these conditions, which apply to the whole field of play, the quarterback may run with the ball provided he goes 5 yards outside of center in advancing the ball. This makes checkerboard markings necessary over...
