...Saturday resulted in a tie, neither side scoring. The Harvard defense was strong and the Andover team in consequence adopted punting tactics from the start. The second eleven reached Andover's one yard line once where a fumble lost the ball, and was within five yards of the goal twice. Failure to score in these cases was due chiefly to the fumbling of the second eleven's backs, but the Andover team's defence was very strong, in one case holding the second eleven for downs at the five yard line. In punting, Andover was very strong and the second...
...poor. The second scored once on a brilliant end run of sixty yards by Putnam, and held the first eleven down to one touchdown. The first eleven kept the ball out of its own territory fairly well and a few times came near the goal line, but it was twice held for downs on the ten yard line and again lost a good chance to score by a fumble. Much of this weakness was due to the fact that there were five substitutes on the team, but the work of the regular line men was very slow. They were unable...
...line. A ten-yard buck by Sawin and another short one by Ellis scored the touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked a difficult goal. Soon after the kick off Ellis made a well-placed punt from the middle of the field to Columbia's five-yard line. Columbia failed to gain twice and Harvard got the ball on the five yard line on Morley's poor punt. Sawin on the next play broke through right tackle again and scored the last touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked another goal from a difficult angle. From then until the end of the game Harvard played...
...punting and drop-kicking. In the preliminary practice Kernan and Stillman made an average of fifty yards on their punts, and Ellis, who a week ago made no better than twenty-five yards, made an average of forty yesterday. In the game he punted sixty yards twice. Sawin and Kendall did no actual playing but spent the time kicking goals...
...halves of ten minutes each. The first eleven was decidedly superior on the offensive, but did not score until the very end of the second half. This small score does not, however, give a correct idea of the game; for the second team had possession of the ball only twice and did not gain a yard by rushing. The first eleven on the other hand, gained almost at will, and was never far from the goal line. In the first half the ball was carried twice to the ten-yard line, only to be lost on fumbles...
