8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Saturday afternoon the Freshman football team was defeated by a score of 14 to 6 by Worcester Academy on the latter's field at Worcester.
Worcester made the first score after a minute of play, when Cottrell blocked an attempted kick from formation and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Towards the end of the half Cottrell picked up a fumbled punt and after a 35-yard run scored the second touchdown. Worcester's third score was the result of a drop kick from the 35-yard line in the last minute of the second half. The only touchdown made by the Freshmen was by straight football from Worcester's 30-yard line.
The game was lost by ragged work in the Freshman back field, and by the extreme slowness of the ends. Fumbles were very frequent and costly, several being within Worcester's 15-yard line. The game had few redeeming features, except the splendid work of the line, which fought well and hard despite the discouraging support of the ends and backs. Fish and Forster in particular played well for the Freshmen.
The summary: Score -- Worcester, 14; Harvard 1910, 6. Touchdowns -- Cottrell 2, Gilbert. Goal from touchdown -- West. Goal from field -- Greenwood. Umpires -- F. Peters, Worcester Tech.; E. S. Land, Annapolis. Referees -- E. S. Land and J. W. Cahill. Linemen -- Hadden and Dudley. Time -- 20-minute halves.
