Very little end running was attempted by
either side, and when II was tried the

Princeton's line outqlayed Harvard's at
almost every point, with the exception
of Hearn, at left end. Cochran played a
brilliant game at the east end, being on
hand wherever he was needed.
1t is difficult to pick particular flaws in
Harvard's work, but their line lacked the
alertness and snap which cannot be dis
pensed with in a winning team.

the middle of the second half, and from
