...Fearing at half-back, and during the first half they were sent through the cetre instead of around the ends as usual. The success which attended this style of play, considering the strength of the Cornell centre, is encouraging. Lake's work was particularly good; one of his rushes through the centre of the Cornell team and nearly half the length of the field was remarkable. Fearing also played well; his tackling is peculiar but effective. The rush line work was, on the whole, good, and at some times brilliant. One of the worst faults of the rushers...
...latter scored the second touch-down; goal. Score, 10-0. Immediately after the ball had been put in play Dean secured it, ran 55 yards and scored; goal. Score, 16-0. Harvard was playing a strong game and scored rapidly now; Lake and Fearing both gained on every rush, and the latter had soon raised the score ten points by two touch-downs, from one of which Trafford kicked a goal. The next was a little longer coming. Trafford tried for a goal from the field but failed. Bacon again kicked out from the 25 yard line and Cornell lost...

Weld got the ball from Forbes' kick and made a good rush. McNear carried it still farther, and shortly afterwards Moen was pushed over the line for a touch-down; no goal. Score, 4-0. When the ball was again put in play White made a short gain, but Crosby got the ball out of the scrimmage and made a touchdown from which a goal...
Then '92 began to rush better. Henry made good rushes and carried the ball near '91's line. Had '92 been heavier they could have gained the requisite 5 yards by pushing, but instead the ball was given to '91 on off side play. Weld kicked and '92 was given 5 yards for interference with a fair catch. Forbes made a kick over. Kicks were exchanged and the ball went to '92 on four downs. It was passed to Forbes as if for a kick, but he passed it to White, who carried it within five yards of the goal...
