Again Harvard tried her up-hill work, but Brewer was forced to kick. The ball went out at the 20 yard line. After several short gains, Yale in trying a trick dropped the ball.

Harvard steadily gained on sharp plays at guard and tackle for some 15 yards, when holding by Newell gave the ball to Yale. After three or four times trying in vain to rush with the ball, Butterworth tried for a goal from the field.

This failing, the ball was brought out to the 25 yard line. After two or three short gains by the new wedge, Brewer was forced to kick. Hinkey got the ball 40 yards from Harvard's goal. On his fair catch, Yale tried a flying wedge. Thorne dropped the ball and Emmons fell on it.

For about a dozen downs Harvard played fine football. Several times the new wedge was used, and once or twice the mass play with ends back, in which Emmons ran with the ball. Waters, Brewer, Wrightington, Emmons, Stevenson, all helped carry the ball down to Yale's 24 yard line, where Harvard made her first fumble. Butterworth kicked out at Yale's 35 yard line. Several more sharp plays, directed mostly at guard and tackle, and finally Harvard lost the ball on four downs. Butterworth at once kicked some 55 yards to Brewer at Harvard's 30 yard line. Waters ran twice with a gain of only 2 yards. This ended the first half.

During the first half Harvard gained 208 yards, only 71 being on punts. They lost but 9 yards, on Newell's off-side play. Harvard had the ball in 55 plays. Yale on the other hand had the ball only 17 times, making 237 yards, 210 being on punts before the wind. Yale's rushes netted just 27 yards.

The second half Yale's players were much less tired than Harvard's, by reason of the punting game they had played. Yale's flying wedge on the opening play gained only 10 yards, but this play was followed by a dozen others, some ten of them directed straight at Acton and Manahan, all netting good gains, though none of them very large. Butterworth once broke through the gap between Acton and Manahan and was downed by Beale after a gain of 10 yards. It was on the fourteenth play that Butterworth broke through again and made a touchdown. He crossed the goal line 25 yards from the goal posts, yet no Harvard player tacked him until he had dropped the ball behind the goal posts. He had no difficulty in kicking the goal.

Harvard had the ball once more at the centre of the field. The flying wedge advanced the ball 18 yards into Yale's territory. On the fourth down following Yale once more got the ball.

Thorne made the best run of the day, 40 yards by Manahan and Emmons. Three of Yale's rushers lined up five yards back of Greenway, who played opposite Emmons. They started for Manahan, Butterworth and Armstrong for Emmons, and Thorne with the ball slipped through the gap. Butterworth and Thorne carried the ball by short rushes at Manahan, down to Harvard's 20 yard line, where they lost it on four downs.

Here Harvard enthusiasts had a chance to shout. Wrightington ran 15 yards round Hinkey. Brewer pushed 10 yards more past Greenway. With a clear field before him he slipped on the hard turf and fell. By several successive rushes aided by off-side play on Yale's part, Harvard got to Yale's 43 yard line.

From this time on there were some 60 plays. Yale had the ball for nearly 45 of these, making gain after gain by tackle and guard. Harvard would get the ball on four downs or on a kick, only to be obliged to punt back. The ball was never once forced near Yale's goal, never again did Harvard enthusiasm rouse itself. Just after the fine runs by Wrightington and Brewer, Waters, who had already been hurt two or three times, was obliged to leave the field on account of a knock on the head and water on the knee. Dunlop, who took his place did very well for the few chances he had to show himself.

The game closed with Yale in possession of the ball on her own 45 yard line.

This half Yale had the ball in 75 plays, Harvard 31. Yale gained 247 yards, 21 being on a single punt. Harvard had only 31 plays, with a total gain of 205 yards, 109 of which were made on 3 punts. Yale lost ground but 3 times, then only 4 yards in all. Harvard lost 9 yards on a failures to kick by Brewer on account of Beale's slow pass, and 10 yards on 3 other plays.

Following is the make-up.

HARVARD. YALE.
