Harvard's team played very good football and it was only Yale's superior ability in open plays that enabled her to score.

Several times Newhall made successful forward passes to Macdonald and Starr. But as a general thing they were of small avail. With the exception of the first few minutes of play the ball remained for the most part in Harvard's territory.
