...second half the Pennsylvania freshmen were unable to withstand the rushing of the backs and the tackle and guard back plays. Leo pold at quarter played the best for the visitors, while Willing put up a good game at fullback notwithstanding that he had been injured in the early part of the first half.

Both of Cornell's touchdowns were accidental, the result of stopped punts, and might have been avoided had the backs shown better judgment and the line held firmer. The dashing aggressiveness of Cornell in the second half surprised everybody and the Harvard players were...
