...yesterday's score would be misleading. It can be safely said, however, that Harvard played the best game of the season. The work of the eleven was full of snap; the men never stopped playing football except for a short time at the beginning of the second half. The rush line continues to show improvement. The presence of P. Trafford has greatly strengthened the centre and infused a degree of confidence into the whole line which it has lacked heretofore; he played only in the first half yesterday, but in that time did some excellent work. Captain Cumnock also played...
...visitors Speir, Stagg and Kell did the best work. The playing of Spaulding at full-back was also good; he can be depended upon to kick the ball every time be is expected to do so. The rush line was not so strong as it was expected to be; this was doubtless due in a large measure to the absence of Corbin, and of DeHart who is said to keep his rushers at work as well as any quarter in the country...
...kick. Trafford was allowed a fair catch on Harvard's 30 yard line. The eleven was playing a very aggressive game, and the ball was carried rapidly to Orange's end. Lake gained 12 yards and Blanchard 10 more. Corbett followed this with nearly 30 yards in two rushes.

Lee began the gaining by a run of 20 yards around the end; Upton followed it with one of the prettiest rushes of the afternoon through the line; Corbett gained 6 yards through a hole between Upton and Mason. Lee and Blanchard brought the ball 13 yards nearer the Orange goal; and Corbett, aided by the splendid blocking of Hallowell and Upton, carried the ball 15 yards and over the line; goal...
...spirit which is shown. It is a matter which we feel disposed to speak harshly about, for we see a freshman team throwing away all its practice time and living in fond hope that strength may come from somewhere. We can assure the freshmen that if a solid rush line is not formed and if the game is not thoroughly understood by every one, all the help it is possible for them to get later will be of little...
