...that Pennsylvania made some of her longest gains. Brill was matched against Lamson and easily held his own. He was used effectively in the tandem formation. The Harvard ends were rather slow in getting down the field and Macdonald missed several tackles. Leary, on the other hand, made some splendid tackles, proving himself at present the most reliable end. Captain Hurley was in the line-up during the whole game and while he was unable to fulfill expectations in offensive work, he played a good steady game. Foster's fumbles were fatal, but he played a strong game and stopped...

...double pass, but Macdonald stopped him, and Sheble punted. Foster fumbled the kick on the 26-yard line and Rooke, getting the ball after it had rolled back four yards, had a clear field for a touchdown, with two men helping him on.

Burr went in to punt for the second team, but the pass...

...ends were slow in getting down the field and did not carry out the advantage gained by Parker's splendid kickoffs. Hall's punting was very erratic, but he covered his end much better than in any previous game, and made several clean tackles. Montgomery did the best work of anyone on the team. The openings for many of the longest gains were made by him; he kept his feet well in running with the ball and blocked a kick near Maine's goal line, making it easy for Harvard to score the third touchdown. He was fast in getting...
