For Yale, McClung, Crosby, and Graves did the best work. The work of all the men on the Harvard team was so good that it is hard to praise any one in particular without doing injustice to the rest. The work of Cranston and Heard against Hefflefinger, deserves notice; as well as the rushing and tackling of Newell and Allen. Harding played an admirable game, using the men well and rushing strongly himself. The half-back work of Wadsworth and Lee was strong and often brilliant; Dennison also did good work. The team as a whole played a sharp aggressive game, tackling and, as a rule, blocking well. The victory the eleven has gained is a notable one and the men deserve much credit for their work.
