Both sides played largely a kicking game, and in punting Hall, Wesleyan's fullback, was superior to Trafford. In Harvard's rushline Crosby played a very vigorous game, making some superb tackles, and following the ball well, but blocking poorly. On the other end McDonald several times got around Hutchinson. The three centre men broke through well, but at times failed to block hard. Dean at quarter-back played...
