...were soon forced in turn in kick. When '94 again got the ball they were on '95's 35 yard line, Hoag made a beautiful run of 20 yards and the ball was down near the juniors goal. '93 here braced up and getting the ball Duffield made a poor kick. Hoag then tried for a goal from the field. The ball was stopped but as it rolled on the ground McDonald dropped on it 5 yards from '93's line.

It served to show that Harvard's defensive work, especially at the centre, is exceedingly weak; while, on the other hand, the offensive work was fairly creditable. Harvard's interference, however, in both the line and the backs was poor; and the fumbling of the backs was something amazing. During all the first part of the game the ball seemed to slippery for Fearing and Like to hold. Harvard was lucky in dropping on the ball; and that was the only circumstance which, several times in succession, saved her from...
