Harvard made nearly all of her effective plays on quick tandem formations massed at tackle and guard. On the defense Harvard prevented Yale from making more than twenty yards during the entire game by her prompt work in breaking through the line. In stopping the attacks of Yale, Roberts at centre and Shea at right guard were especially brilliant...
...third and fourth crews are quick at starting but have not the necessary beef and strength. They are made up as follows...
Because of the bad weather yesterday the practice was held in the baseball cage and was confined to a running signal drill. All of the first eleven men including Kendall, Ellis, Sawin and Kernan took part at one time or another.

The great fault of the team was playing too high, a failing which has marred the work during the whole week. The practice ended with some individual coaching...
...most important feature of the practice game was the excellent work of Roberts, who was tried at left guard for the first time this year. He was very aggressive and, although not very effective on the offense, broke through quickly on the defense and stopped almost all of the second team's plays. Bowditch again showed his ability in stopping line plays and made several tackles for a loss. His blunder of tackling Devens before he caught a punt was censurable, however. The rest of the men on the first eleven played in poor form, but they were quick...

Once he passed the ball back over Daly's head and several other times he sent the ball so low that only very quick work by the punter made it possible...
