The best playing for Harvard was done by Perry, Austin and Morse, For Exeter, the best playing was done by Brooks, Trafford and Barbour. It would be useless to attempt an individual criticism of a game like the one which was played by Harvard. The men had no life and there was no spirit shown. The ball was taken from Harvard by the Exeter men before our men were aware of it while the Exeter half-backs were nearly always able to find holes in our rush line. Only once did Harvard really work and then two touchdowns were scored. They were beaten solely because their opponents were too active for them.
